The event includes derby-inspired fashions from DILLARDS at Mall St. Matthews, but the real stars of the red carpet are all of the adoptable dogs who accompany the runway models! Kick-off derby week with us at Mall St. Matthews where you'll enjoy a auction items, take part in bourbon and spirits pulls, view adoptable dogs, and meet some of ACS's biggest supporters!
During this year's runway fashion show we're inviting the public to enter their dogs for a chance to walk the runway!
The “Derby Dog of the Year” contest is simple: register your dog for a $25 donation, upload a photo and description of your pup, and share on social media! Invite your family, friends, and followers to "Vote" for your dog for $5 per vote. The top five dogs with the most votes will be invited to walk the runway where one will be crowned "Rescues On the Runway Derby Dog of the Year!"

Grab your friends, kids, and family, and we’ll see you on the runway!
