Fun event coming up thanks to Harley Davidson of Montgomery, Alabama News Network and more sponsors to be announced! Join us for Carnival for Canines on Tuesday, 31 August, from 2 – 8 pm at Harley Davidson of Montgomery, 655 North Eastern Blvd, Montgomery! Fun games for the kids, food, music and so much more, so bring the children after school! Leashed pets are also welcome as long as they are good around children, other dogs, and lots of activities and loud noises.
Coming up fast is our 15th Annual Bark in the Park at Fort Toulouse on Sunday, 19 September from 1-5 pm (rain date is Sun, 26 Sep)! 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. There will be vendors of many kinds and adoptable dogs from our Shelter. We will have food and refreshments, as well as baked goods (soliciting donated baked goodies from our supporters – please email [email protected] if you can donate baked snacks/cakes/etc.).
Get your pet microchipped from 1:30-3:30 p.m. 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! Your dog can paint its very own ‘paw’ painting, join in on the Pet Parade, and participate in a number of fun pet contests to be announced!
A fun new addition this year will be the Silent Auction of Pet Related Items from 1:30 – 3 pm under the Pavilion. We are adding photos of items, and how this will work to our website, but suffice there will be a wide variety of items for your dog, cat, Guinea Pig, rabbit, etc! You must be present when the auction ends to pay for and take your item home.
We will have our bright, colorful and cute Bark in the Park 2021 T-Shirts for sale for $15 and we are thankful for all the sponsors (on the back of the T-Shirts) that support this event every year!
