2025 Patriotic Pup Parade Winners
The Shaffer Foundation is thrilled to announce the winners of our 2025 Patriotic Pup Parade! This year’s parade was full of wagging tails, colorful costumes, and endless community pride as dogs of all shapes and sizes strutted their stuff in red, white, and blue.
From tiny pups with big personalities to larger-than-life four-legged friends, each participant brought joy and excitement to the event. Our winners impressed the judges with their patriotic flair, creativity, and the special bond they share with their families.
Congratulations to our 2025 champions, and a huge thank you to every pup and owner who joined the parade. Together, you made this celebration a highlight of the year while supporting our mission to honor Delaware’s first responders.
