This past weekend, the Washington Humane Society brought together Congressmen, canines, and couture at the annual Fashion for Paws Runway Show. The event, held at the National Building Museum, welcomed over 1,700 well dressed people and their pets while raising nearly $700,000 to benefit the WHS. E! News’ Now correspondent Ashlan Gorse hosted the event, honoring Congressmen Jim Moran (D-VA) and John Campbell (R-CA) with the 2013 Humane Hero Award.

Each model raised a minimum of $5,000 to walk the runway with adoptable and well dressed dogs in matching gowns. Yes, dogs in gowns!

Check out some of the shots below to see the models decked out in Tyson’s finest.
