Dozens attended a dog show at Beechwood Park last Sunday.
More than £300 was raised for a Newport pet charity.
Councillor Matthew Pimm expressed his gratitude to attendees, saying: "A big thank you to everyone who came along to support our dog show yesterday.
"It was lovely to combine both community groups I represent for a lovely event and fundraiser."
Beechwood Park Community Group managed to raise £373 for Fonds—Friends of Newport Dogs.
This money will help the charity continue supporting stray and abandoned dogs under the care of Newport City Dogs Home Rehoming.
Mr Pimm added: "We got through six categories before the rain arrived, but it was good fun and we were lucky to see so many lovely dogs and very good handlers."
He said there is a full schedule of free events lined up in Beechwood Park this summer for the community to attend.
These include a teddy bears' picnic on June 1, music in the park on July 13, and the music festival "Summer Sessions" on the weekend of July 25 to 27, as well as a sports day and more.
Mr Pimm also thanked Bettapets Newport for supplying last-minute emergency prizes.
