New York, NY – Meow out the way, these dogs are renaming the catwalk the dog-walk.
Elysian Impact’s second annual Catwalk Furbaby fashion show featured over 20 models and their designer-clad rescue dogs, transforming the catwalk into a dog-walk. The event, held on Thursday, showcased dogs from various rescue organizations, including NYC Second Chance Rescue and Animal Advocates of Barnwell County, parading in outfits by top designers.

Participants, including EyeWitness News reporter Kristin Thorne, faced unique challenges walking the runway with their canine companions. The show aimed to raise funds for animal welfare charities and promote pet adoption. While some dogs like Eunice were adopted during the event, others, such as Donna Summer, are still seeking forever homes. Attendees were encouraged to vote for their favorite pairs through donations, with a focus on the connection between the models and their dogs rather than just the outfits.
