Can your bulldog safely ride a motorcycle? Does your cat know how to answer the phone? Can your sugar glider read Steinbeck novels aloud while riding a bicycle? If you answered "well...maybe?" to any or all of these questions.....THE FSPCA RESCUE ANIMAL VIRTUAL TALENT SHOW is just what you've been waiting for!!
Unfortunately, due to Covid, last year's Mutt Strutt Dog Show was cancelled. Hopefully, we'll be able to get back to that when things get back to "normal." FOR NOW....because we KNOW those animals of yours are itching to show off their talents....the talent portion of Mutt Strutt is going virtual!
From now until OCTOBER 22th we will be accepting registrations for the FSPCA Virtual Talent Show. Once all registrations and talent videos have been received, they will be uploaded onto the FSPCA page to be voted on by the public until the first week of November. When voting closes....the video with the most "likes" will win (first, second and third place prizes will be awarded)!

RULES OF TALENT SHOW:
- All participating animals must be rescue animals (not purchased from a retail store or breeder – reputable or otherwise. While we agree that all animals are AMAZING…we would really like to showcase the specific talents of our rescued friends). Any species (dog, cat, hedgehog, sugar glider, etc.) or breed (mixed or otherwise) can participate.
- Any animal and/or human participating must not be put in danger while filming video. If it is determined that your animal and/or any human was in danger during the filming your donation fee will be refunded and you will not be allowed to enter the talent show.
- No foul or offensive language should be heard in the video(s).
- If you own multiple rescue animals that you would like to enter that is fine. However, only ONE video per animal is admissible. Each animal video entered will require its own registration paperwork and fee.
If you have ANY questions or concerns please feel free to contact the shelter (540-788-9000) or email [email protected].
Now.....LET'S SEE THOSE TALENTED RESCUES!!!!!!!!!
