PET SHOWCASE DESIGN CHALLENGE Benefits Shelter Animals
Members of the community will be leaving their creative mark on the new Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center (MCASAC) by being a part of MCPAW’s Pet Showcase Design Challenge. MCPAW created this contest to promote the new facility, as well as encourage adoptions and provide enjoyment and comfort to the shelter animals. Fifteen teams committed to making these rooms warm and wonderful for dogs and cats up for adoption. Each team submitted a design concept and from there, one finalist was chosen for each of the showcases. Those selected now get to make their concepts a reality. Dogs will enjoy themes of a Sports Cave, Nursery, Glam/Diva Dog, and Dr. Seuss. Felines will explore a Home-Sweet-Home theme, as well as Jungle Safari, Nature, Shoe Boutique and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
