18th Annual Bark in the Park
Thankfully moving our Bark in the Park to this past Sunday resulted in a dry but, yes, hot day still with lots of fun in the park with our dogs and friends! Look for a ton of photos on our Shelter Facebook page thanks to Pam, our intrepid Photographer!
This was year 18 for Bark in the Park and, as always, Fort Toulouse was, again, perfect for our event!

Many thanks to our Board, Volunteers & staff who manned the gate, sales tables and set up our pet related events. LT Darrell Spraggins and his K9 partner from the Wetumpka Police Department kicked us off with a demonstration that should have made it clear – don’t try to hide anything from a police K9! Dr. Andre’ Harrison excelled, as usual, as our Master of Ceremonies, conducting our Blessing of the Animals and announcing our Pet Parade & Pet Contests. We greatly appreciate David Craig for providing the sound system and music, as well as his own talented vocals! The Pet Parade was huge, pet contests just too much fun, four happy raffle winners left with their prize baskets and just a great day seeing so many loved dogs with their owners!
We have a few of our bright lime green “Pets Make Life Better” 2024 Bark in the Park T-Shirts left and you can purchase them at our Shelter office or Tail’s End Thrift Store for $15!
And finally, our sincere thanks to all who attended and let us spend time with your beloved dogs. Look for another great year in 2025 for year 19!
