NEW Top Dog 2022

Is your dog the cutest, cuddliest, goofiest, coolest dog around? If you answered yes, you’re going to love NEW Top Dog! With over $19,000 in prizes up for grabs and a chance to name a beer after your furry friend, this contest is every dog (and beer!) lover’s dream!

This online, vote-driven popularity contest will answer the most important question: “Who is the top dog in Northeast Wisconsin?” Let’s find out!

It’s Collaborative!

NEW Top Dog is a collaboration between six animal rescue organizations, six breweries and Kiwanis. All contest proceeds benefit pets and children in Northeast Wisconsin.

It’s Easy To Participate!

During this fun-filled contest, dog owners will pay $10 to enter their pup into their favorite shelter’s photo contest. Thanks to very generous support from Fleet Farm, all contest entrants and voters will receive a coupon for $10 off of a $50 purchase at Fleet Farm locations.

After registration, contestants will encourage their friends and family to vote for their canine companion (votes are just $1 each). At the end of voting, the top 10 dogs from each of the six contests will win some really cool prizes

After fourteen days of voting, the contest will come to an end, and the top vote-earning dog will be crowned the NEW Top Dog for 2022.

Support Pets and Kids!

There’s so much at play here! The NEW Top Dog contest is about fun, prizes, a sought-after title, and making a difference. Last year, this campaign raised $235,000 to help pets and children. With this year’s new shelter/rescue and brewery partners and increased awareness, the goal is to far exceed last year’s mark!

Because of you, NEW Top Dog 2022 will change the lives of even more pets and children.
Thank you for your participation!
