Their humans will enjoy interacting with top trainers and learn holistic pet-care tips. Also available will be a low-cost rabies clinic, microchipping packages, spay and neuter certificates and much more.
The highlight of the event is definitely the adoptable animals showcased by area non-profits – who knows, you may just come home with a new family member.
Raffles will run throughout day for doggie-delicious prizes. Proceeds will benefit Companion Animal Aid, a Pooler-based dog rescue. Cash or check will only be accepted for purchase of services and products. The complex is located at 1147 West Hwy.80, Pooler.
