In case the quotation marks didn’t make it clear enough, the term “ugly” or “scary” is meant to be a play on words because this is a Halloween competition, where the brand is looking for its next mascot.
Now that we’ve gotten THAT out of the way (sorry in case you got it the first time) Mango Shotta says it’s looking to celebrate unconventional dogs (like their tequila) this spooky season by looking for the “spiciest-looking” mutt to be the face of their new brand.
Here’s how to enter:
- Snap a photo of their remarkably hideous dog dressed in a costume (store-bought or DIY—owner’s choice!).
- Bonus points will be awarded if the photo incorporates the color orange, though not required.
- Photos should be submitted to www.MangoShottaSpokesDog.com now through October 22. The new mascot and their owner will be notified on October 31.
“We all have a soft spot for unique and unconventional pets that stand out from the pack, so we’re excited to find the spiciest-looking mutt to become our new face and spokesb*tch,” Charley Costa, Brand Manager for Mango Shotta said in a statement. “Our cherished Arturo, with his quirky skeleton look, perfectly represents the delightful and often overlooked pups that add a sweet and spicy twist to life—much like our Mango Shotta tequila. We’re excited to raise awareness for these unique dogs and celebrate what makes them so special!”
Mango Shotta also says it will be covering adoption fees for 31 dogs (in the spirit of Halloween and October) as part of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. Participants can also enter for a chance to receive up to $300 in adoption reimbursement fees (via Venmo). To enter, participants are asked to submit a photo of their newly adopted dog (no costume required) on their website.
