Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You

We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

Watching a wiener dog race is a hysterical, and heartbreaking, experience.

These short-legged canines might seem like the unlikeliest of sprinters, but they’ll have plenty of supporters when some of the speediest pooches in the Valley compete at the 15th Annual Wiener Mania. This is one heated battle. Dogs will compete in nearly two dozen competitions before making their way to the wiener finals.

Proceeds benefit the Arizona Adopt a Greyhound nonprofit.
