🐕 “New Leash on Life Rescue TransFURmation”
Groom Contest
This special makeover contest is reserved for mobile groomers who want to use their skills to change lives. Each groomer will be paired with a rescue dog in need of a fresh start.
How It Works:
• Bathing & drying are completed inside your mobile grooming van.
• The groom & big reveal happen outside on a grooming table so the audience can see the transformation live.
• Groomers are encouraged to bring business cards, flyers, or coupons to share with spectators.
✨ Judging is based on the best overall transformation — from scruffy to stunning! This is your chance not only to compete but to make a meaningful difference in a rescue dog’s future.
