FROM THE HUMANE
SOCIETY OF ELMORE COUNTY
Sunday, 15 September, starting at noon will be our 18th Annual Bark in the Park at Fort Toulouse in Wetumpka! Let’s all have some fun with our dogs by bringing your dog out to Fort Toulouse to enjoy a nice afternoon in the park.
There will be plenty to do and see at Bark in the Park – vendors, food, demonstrations, Microchip Clinic, Blessing of the Pets, Pet Parade, Pet & Owner Contests, Bark in the Park T-Shirts, some great raffle basket and more
We have numerous vendors with pet products, groups and information, crafts, sweets, local businesses and more. Vendors will be set up under the trees and around the Pavilion area and plenty of time for more Vendors to join us – check our Vendor App here: https://www.elmorehumane.org/bark-in-the-park-2024-vendor-application.html or email us at the Shelter at [email protected].
Crepe Magic and Venice Gelato are onboard to tempt your tastebuds, and the Buffalo Rock Pepsi Trailer will be stocked with a variety of sodas and water for sale.
Our Blessing of the Pets will happen approximately 2-2:15 pm followed by our always popular Parade of Pets. After all who doesn’t like showing off their beloved pet! During the Pet Parade secret judges will be scouting out dogs for fun prizes – biggest, smallest, best costume, owner/pet look-a-like and more.
Changing it up this year and instead of the Silent Auction we will have some super cool Gift Baskets to raffle! Will tell more about those as we get closer.
Microchips can be critical to reuniting lost pets and to help keep more pets safe, bring your dog to Fort Toulouse where it can be chipped. From 1:30 – 3:30 and for only $25 (which includes the registration) you can get your pet microchipped thanks to the Tuskegee College of Veterinary Medicine.
Make sure to stop near the Pavilion at Fort Toulouse to purchase your 2024 Bark in the Park T-Shirt for $15. We are most appreciative of the Sponsors for our T-Shirt, and we KNOW that Pets Make Life Better so why going with bright and cheery Lime Green this year. We always have some delectable baked goodies as well and who doesn’t like homemade sweets!
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.
Just in case, our rain date is Sunday, 22 September still at Ft. Toulouse.
