In Person Competition at Odell Brewing Company
Fort Collins is known for its dogs. Thousands of cute, cuddly pooches call this city home. However, the age-old question remains… Who is the top dog in Fort Collins?! Who is the leader of the pack? The best in show? We have teamed up with Odell Brewing to officially answer this question, and support good causes while doing itIt's Easy!
All you need to do is create a fun profile for your dog and raise money for a good cause. Make sure to use your dog's name in the profile instead of your own!
The winner gets their dog's image on an in-production run can of Odell beer
The winning dog will have their photo be forever enshrined on a can of Odell beer that they are creating just for this event! We will work with the owner on either selecting an appropriate photo, or taking one specifically for the prize.
Want to Enter Your Dog in Top Dog 2025? Here's How It Works:
- Sign up your pup starting June 1st and start fundraising for your favorite local charity (you'll choose from dropdown list).
- Fundraise through August 31st. The 16 dogs who raise the most will each receive a prize package and a check from Top Dog made out to their chosen charity.
- That means: 16 Dogs. 16 Charities. 16 Checks.
- Didn't make the Top 16? Don't worry—your impact still counts! All funds raised by dogs outside the Top 16 will go to this year's primary beneficiary: @animalfriendsalliance, a nonprofit saving thousands of local cats and dogs each year.
To enter, just create a profile on RallyUp using your pup's cutest photos and their name—this will be your fundraising page all summer long. Make it fun, make it memorable, and show the world why your dog deserves to be Fort Collins' Top Dog!
Make it into the Top 16 and your dog will compete live at our in-person event at Odell Brewing Co., where crown the Grand Prize Winner—Fort Collins Top Dog 2025, featured on a custom Odell beer label!
So grab your leash, pick your cause, and get ready to compete for a good cause!
