Saturday, August 26th from 10 am-2 pm On Saturday, August 26th from 10 am-2 pm come to your Erie Zoo to enjoy our annual Wild Dog Pounce event! At 11am our African-painted dogs "Malia," "Mary Alice," and "Selina" will go head-to-head with three cardboard contenders! Who will be the last one standing? In the week leading up to the event, you will meet our three cardboard contenders and have the opportunity to vote for who you think will win. Everyone who voted for the winner will receive a print of one of the Erie Zoo's African wild dog's painted pawprints! And one lucky person will be drawn from that group to win a very rare Behind the Scene Tour to meet the African-painted dogs! And don't worry, one lucky winner will be chosen from the 2nd place votes and 3rd place votes and receive some fun Erie Zoo swag! Each vote is $1 and all proceeds benefit the Painted Dog Conservation organization. Throughout the event, we will have opportunities to learn all about African-painted dogs and the animal species that share the same native habitat. It's a great day to learn a little about African wildlife while contributing to their wild counterparts' survival! *Event is rain or shine. Free for Erie Zoo Members and with paid admission.
