The HSUS is holding the first “Hip Hop for Hounds” contest for the best rap song that stands up for dogs—

and against dogfighting. The winning rap will be hand-picked by DMC, and the winner will score $1,000! (See our contest rules for details.)

Also, stay tuned for our “People’s Choice Award”—

vote on your favorite of the top rap entries! If your song wins this contest, you could walk away with $500!

Here’s How to Get Started
