North America's Premier Stunt Dog Show
The Canine Stars brings some of the most talented rescued dogs on the planet to the LECOM Event Center stage for a 90-minute show that will have you laughing, cheering, and on your feet. Founded in 2012 by professional dog sport veterans Keri Caraher and Ethan Wilhelm, this touring production has sold out performing arts centers across North America — and now it's coming to Elmira.
Every dog in the cast was adopted from a shelter, rescue group, or humane society. Their stories are woven into the show — a powerful reminder that the most extraordinary athletes can come from the most unlikely beginnings.

The Mission
From Rescues to Rockstars
Nearly every performing dog was adopted from a shelter across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, or South Korea. Every ticket sold carries the message that rescue dogs — given love, training, and a chance — can do extraordinary things. Come meet them after the show.
