The Saline Community Fair is pleased to offer the 3rd
Annual Saline Dog of the Year Contest. Dogs that live within the Saline Area Schools district are eligible to be nominated by their owners. Nomination forms and two photos, or one photo and a 30 second video, need to be sent to salinedogoftheyear@gmail.com

The purpose of the contest is to recognize the companionship that dogs offer. Desired attributes are helpfulness to the family or individual; playfulness; obedience and photogenic. A panel of judges will evaluate the photos, videos and nomination forms which are submitted and select up to five dogs to be featured on the Saline Community Fair face book page or website for the public to vote online for their favorite dog in the People’s Choice Dog segment of the competition. The top five dogs and their owners will appear at the Saline Community Fair on Friday, September 1 at 5:30 p.m. Up to $500 in gift cards from the contest sponsor, Tractor Supply Co. of Saline, will be presented to the top dogs in the Saline Dog of the Year Contest.
