Show Your Soft Side and Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) will hold the fifth annual Pawject Runway, presented by Pet Valu, on Saturday, May 6, 2017 at Royal Farms Arena. The fashion show features Softies – big, animal-loving influencers from Show Your Soft side campaign – who will strut the runway “modeling” some of the adorable dogs and cats available for adoption from BARCS.

The event kicks off at 6 p.m. with drinks, heavy hors d’oeuvres, a cuddle corner and selfie station with four-legged super models, and a silent auction. The fashion show begins at 8 p.m. and features various local celebrities including Baltimore Ravens Lawrence Guy, Ryan Jensen and Carl Davis, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters Dan Root and Dave Daniecki.

On-site adoptions of animals featured in the runway show are encouraged. All guests are invited to attend an after party where they can mingle with the modeling Softies at Hotel Indigo.
