DENVER - ColoradoDesk -- Sploot Veterinary Care and Denver Union Station are thrilled to announce the return of Paws With Pride, a vibrant, tail-wagging celebration of dogs, Pride, and community spirit -  on Saturday, June 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Terminal Bar Patio at Denver Union Station.

Back by popular demand for a second year, this joyful and free event welcomes pets and people of all backgrounds to come together in celebration of love, diversity, and our furry companions. The afternoon will feature  a Doggie Drag Fashion Show hosted by local favorite Talia Tucker at 1:30 p.m., free pet portraits courtesy of Denver Pet Pics, fun raffles and giveaways—all in support of a powerful cause.

This year, Sploot is proud to spotlight Canine Partners of the Rockies, a Colorado-based nonprofit that trains and matches service dogs with people with disabilities, enhancing mobility, independence, and dignity. A $5 suggested donation to enter the doggie drag show directly benefits their mission. Since 2002, Canine Partners has been transforming lives through specialized training, personalized placements, and lifelong support—all provided without placement fees.
