On your bark, get set, GO!

On August 31, the fourth annual PETCO Unleashed National Chihuahua Race finals took place and Tiger, a Chihuahua from Bakersfield, California took first place over 14 other tiny regional champions.

Tiger, a four year old Chihuahua, reclaimed his champion title as he also took first place in the 2006 National Chihuahua Race. Tiger is now the proud winner of the prestigious Unleased Race trophy, a one-year supply of Royal Canin Chihuahua dog food and a $300 PETCO gift card.

The 15 finalists hailed from Orlando, Chicago, Phoenix, Dallas, Boston, Seattle, Houston, Denver, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Sacramento, New York City, San Diego, San Francisco and Anaheim, California. Over 2,900 Chihuahuas competed to race in last weeks finals.

The PETCO Unleashed National Chihuahua Race took place in San Diego at PETCO Park, in between innings at a Padres baseball game. Petco’s annual event creates awareness for the Chihuahua Rescue & Transport, creating plenty of adoption opportunities and hoping to help these tiny pooches find forever homes.
