New York Pet Fashion Show

Each February, the New York Pet Fashion Show — the largest pet fashion and animal rescue benefit in the country — returns to the historic Hotel Pennsylvania in Midtown Manhattan, kicking off New York Fashion Week and the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

This fun annual event, co-chaired by pet fashion designer Ada Nieves and publisher and public relations professional Gregg Oehler, features themed costume runway shows with attendees' dogs (and other pets) walking the catwalk along with rescue dogs looking for homes. A Best in Show award is given for the best costume. The evening also includes the presentation of Golden Paw Awards to honor those who make a difference helping animals. Between 2014 and 2020, a portion of the event's proceeds were donated to the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals.
