Dog house raffle to raise Habitat for Humanity funds

Habitat for Humanity, Summer Classic Dog Show to host raffle for extreme dog houses

The Edmond Sun

OKLA. CITY — OKLAHOMA CITY — Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity, in partnership with the Oklahoma City Summer Classic Dog Show, will host a raffle for extreme dog houses as part of the Extreme Dog House Challenge, in which entrants created and built unique and imaginative dog houses to donate to Central Oklahoma Habitat’s affordable housing cause. The houses will be on display through Sunday at Penn Square Mall.

Seven different extreme dog houses will be raffled off through the sale of tickets during the display period. Individuals can purchase raffle tickets at a price of one for $5 or five for $20. The drawing for the winners of the dog houses will take place at 4 p.m. Sunday at the mall. All proceeds raised from the sale of raffle tickets will help Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity build a home for a limited income family in need.

Among other unique designs, the dog houses include a Japanese-influenced modern dog house built with recycled materials, a stucco home with southwestern style decorations, a castle with turrets and a pink princess palace built for a miniature/toy dog.

Guest judges awarded the houses with Best in Show, Most Creative and other designations prior to the opening.

Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that provides affordable housing for hard-working, limited-income families. The organization has now built 557 new homes in central Oklahoma since 1990, all sold at cost and with no interest charged.
