2024 Austin Barking Beauty Pageant
The Austin Barking Beauty Pageant returns for the 2nd time and will be presented Sunday, August 4th at 4:00pm at BeVelle Barber School, 2015 East Riverside Drive.
This pet fashion, talent and rescue extravaganza will feature the cutest dogs in Austin and surrounding areas! Community businesses, and Kennedy Art Productions is joining forces with BeVelle Barber School to present the 2024 Austin Barking Beauty Pageant to help raise the money needed by Austin Pets Alive to save and rehabilitate abused and neglected area pets.
Founded in 2006, The Barking Beauty Pageant has helped support community projects and animal rescue groups with exciting pageant events in New York City, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Denver and the famous Hamptons, NY area. The 2024 Austin Barking Beauty Pageant will mark their 19th pageant event overall.
The Barking Beauty Pageant is the original nationwide beauty pageant event for dogs. Patterned after human beauty pageants, the canine contestants will compete in Photogenic, Activewear, Glamourwear and Talent, for the chance to win a Crown, Medals, Banners, trophies and beautiful gifts from the event Sponsors, all while contributing to worthwhile causes. Spectators will also win with Door Prizes, and gifts featured in a Silent Auction.
Leslie Kennedy, veteran pageant winner and emcee, former star of NYCTV25’s Doggie Moms, and owner of Kennedy Art Productions, created the event. “Any dog is eligible – young, old, male or female, full breed or mixed, big or small – all are welcome,” she said, “We’ve had male and female winners, mixed breeds, even a big dog, a pittie won one year! It’s so fun to see all these cute dogs and to experience the love they share with their parents!”
BeVelle Barber School owner Christie Gonzales, is the Local Affiliate Director of the Austin pageant. “We were looking for a creative and fun way to give back to the community while providing an exciting event for fellow pet lovers when I found the Barking Beauty Pageant! It’s a perfect fit and we’re so looking forward to what we hope will become a yearly highlight in our community,” she said.

About The Barking Beauty Pageant: The Barking Beauty Pageant seeks to provide a fun, bonding and learning experience for the contestant dogs and their parents, while providing a unique entertainment experience for the spectating audience, and an opportunity for all to contribute to a deserving local pet charity and an active area civic organization/charity by providing funds for education, creative recreation, medical care, food and/or other services as needed.
About Austin Pets Alive: Our mission has remained the same since our inception: to eliminate the killing of shelter pets. That simple statement guides us as we build a better future in Austin, and throughout this country, using smart, data-driven tactics to ensure not only that killing stops sustainably, but also that human-animal bonds are no longer needlessly broken and that the system used by government shelters is completely reimagined to support the bonds people have with their animals.
