This summer, Roger Williams Park Zoo is going to the dogs.

Providence's beloved zoo is doing something totally new and adding seriously paw-some entertainment to their summer lineup. Starting on May 25, guests can catch the Canine Champions for Conservation show—an action-packed performance featuring incredibly talented stunt dogs.

What Is the Canine Champions for Conservation Show?

These aren't just any pups. The show highlights rescue and shelter dogs showing off jaw-dropping jumps, lightning-fast agility runs, and high-flying frisbee tricks. And you could even become a part of the show.
