On Sunday, Sept. 25 from noon to 6 p.m., the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District is hosting 'Floofa Pawlooza,' a charity event benefitting Morris Animal Refuge.

Dog lovers can head over to East Passyunk Avenue later this month for a charity event benefitting one of America's first animal refuge shelters that was founded in Philadelphia.

Floofa PAWlooza will take place on  Sunday, Sept. 25 from noon to 6 p.m. at the Singing Fountain near the intersection of 11th and Tasker streets. The free event features  a full afternoon of pet-friendly fun in partnership with graphic design business Live In The Meow Creations.

Floofa PAWlooza will feature a doggy fashion show where owners and their furry friends can strut a makeshift runway for a chance to win first, second or third-place prizes. Those who want to enter the contest can register online. Tickets to participate start at $10 for one dog or $16 for two. 

"It's always great to see our furry pals out and about on the Avenue, and so many of our businesses are pet-friendly," said Adam Leiter, executive director of the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District. "The chance to really strut their stuff in a fashion show plus all the other fun activities that will benefit Morris Animal Refuge is an opportunity for what may be the most adorable Avenue event yet." 

Other activities include cat-themed photo booths and peanut butter canvas paintings. Live music will be provided by glam punk pop band   Night Fury, piano roots and rock trio   Grand Dogs, and western soul band   Wonderhouse.
