CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – Chattanooga went to the dogs this weekend — all for a good cause.

Paw Palooza, hosted by the McKamey Animal Center, brought hundreds of pet lovers and their furry friends together for a full day of fun at Coolidge Park.

The annual event raises money to support thousands of animals in the center’s care.

The park was packed with activities — from agility courses for the pups to live music, food trucks, and pet contests.
