Watch as HAWS Adoptable Pets Become Stars!

Come watch adoptable pets transform into stars at HAWS 3rd annual grooming competition, "Extreme Makeover: HAWS Edition" - this Sunday at HAWS.

HAWS  announces our 3rd annual “Extreme Makeover:  HAWS Edition” pet grooming competition to benefit the shelter.

Featuring HAWS’ adoptable dogs as models, the event is this Sunday, March 17th
from noon - 4:00 p.m. at HAWS’ shelter at 701 Northview Road, Waukesha. Admission is free for spectators and includes raffle prizes, a bake sale for both humans and pets, and a bow sale.

This unique showcase features 12 talented groomers who will transform HAWS’ adoptables into stars. Groomers begin with a blank canvas – the dogs have only been given a bath and nail trims – and must complete any grooming work within 2 hours.

Judging this year’s Makeover is Scott Wasserman, PDS (Petcare Dermatech
specialist), MPS (Master Pet stylist) Meritus. A winner of the Best Pet Stylist
in Show at the U.S. Pet Pro Classic twice and the coveted Intergroom
International Groomer of the Year award, Scott is also a Certifier and
Consultant for the International Society of Canine Cosmetologists, one of the
toughest and most in-depth pet styling certification organizations in the
world.

Event sponsors are all Wisconsin-based companies and include Andis, Charlee
Bear, Soft Lines, Ultra Lift, Stella & Chewy's, Clever Dog Toys, JK Lee
Black Belt Academy, Front Porch Pets, Groomers Co-op, Piranha Promotions, and WeatherTight.
