Beaglefest fundraiser for Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue draws crowd in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A lively crowd of animal lovers and supporters gathered at “Beagletopia” in Las Vegas on Saturday for the third annual Beaglefest fundraiser benefiting the Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation.

The event raised awareness and funds for the rescue’s mission and featured the return of the world-famous Chippendales for the second year in a row.

Chippendales dancers Dio Perez and Mozart Alhamawandi posed for photos with guests and their dogs, drawing enthusiastic crowds and helping boost fundraising through fan interactions.

Hosted by Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation President and CEO Regina Harman, Beaglefest brought together volunteers, foster families, alumni families, and dozens of adoptable beagles for an afternoon centered on community and compassion. Attendees also enjoyed food, live music, local vendors, raffles, and auction prizes.

The Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation works to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome beagles and hound mixes throughout Southern Nevada.

Organizers said events like Beaglefest provide essential funding while strengthening the community of advocates focused on giving the dogs a second chance.
