PIE Smart Dog Sponsors
For more than 10 years, PIE has been delighted to run the PIE Smart Dog Sponsor program at the Vashon Sheepdog Classic. We love bringing together fans and handler teams every year, all while raising money for fall PIE grants!
Vashon Sheepdog Classic in 2025?
We are awaiting news about whether the Classic will return in 2025. Stay tuned! In the meantime, we send out a huge THANK YOU to the Vashon Sheepdog Classic for their continued support of PIE, even on the Classic’s off years!
Please contact Jenna Riggs with any questions about our sponsorship program going forward.

These new materials provide a rich blend of voices from around the world sharing their own feelings and experiences through their writing. Our students may not be able to travel to all of these countries, but they can be exposed to the cultural similarities and differences through literature.
