After last year’s hiatus due to COVID, we are looking forward to our 15th Annual Bark in the Park at Fort Toulouse on Sunday, 19 September from 1-5 pm (rain date is Sun, 26 Sep)! So mark your calendar as we cannot wait to see everyone again. Bark in the Park is all about celebrating that special bond so many of us have with our dogs and we always look forward to a huge crowd of both humans and dogs enjoying the afternoon at Fort Toulouse. Bring your appetite for yummy hot dogs from Wetumpka’s own Grumpy Dog, and you can follow that up with delectable Italian Ice from Venice Gelato and sodas from Buffalo Rock.
Get your pet microchipped from 1:30-3:30 with the help of the Tuskegee Veterinarian School for only $25 which covers the chip and registration. You will be able to “Ask the Vet” questions if need be, let your dog paint its very own ‘paw’ painting, participate in a number of fun pet contests to be announced, visit the booths of wonderful local Vendors, get something yummy to eat, and purchase one of our Bark in the Park 2021 T-Shirts for sale for $15. We will also have a Blessing of the Pets prior to our always popular Pet Parade!
Admission to Bark in the Park is $5/person 13 years old and older. ALL dogs coming to Bark in the Park must be good in public, meaning good around children, adults and other dogs in a very busy situation, AND they must have a current rabies tag/proof of rabies vaccination to come to the Park.
Vendor spots are still available, and Bark in the Park is a great place for folks to be able to learn about your business, product or service. We welcome local businesses, clubs, civic groups, etc. Our Vendor fee is only $35 and you must bring your own tables/pop-up/chairs. There is no electricity available so if you must bring a generator please let us know for site planning. To get a Vendor Application please contact us at the shelter at [email protected]
or call us at 334-567-3377.
