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 2026? Here's How It Works:
- Sign up your pup starting July 1st and start fundraising for your favorite local charity (you'll choose from dropdown list).
- Fundraise through August 31st. Every dog who raises over $50 will each receive a prize package and a check from Top Dog made out to their chosen charity.
To enter, just create a profile on RallyUp using your pup's cutest photos and their name. This will be your fundraising page. Need help? Check out our guide.
