Congratulations to Pet Pages and their 4th Annual Celebration of Pets! It was a beautiful day to get out with your dog and meet and greet local businesses and vendors. Most importantly – the annual event is a venue for prospective adopters to meet with dogs in need of homes. This is Wally, a gorgeous and low key Catahoula mix available from Gimme Shelter Pets.
Adoptable dogs were featured in a special section, Rescue Row. Dogs of all sizes, shapes and specific breeds were seeking long time homes. This pup was with Florida Dachshund Rescue
Entertainment through out the day was provided by Canine Allstars and other dog performance groups.
This Pit Bull seemed to take flight in pursuit of the frisbee, his enthusiasm was contagious! Agility performed by dogs of all levels was a joy to watch. We were in awe of the intense bond and communication between this dog and handler as they ran through the obstacles. Not an easy feat with loud background music, crowd noise and a PA announcer.
Hot dogs cooled off with a plunge into the dock diving pool from Ultimate Air Dogs. A good splash helped everyone feel refreshed.
Food and refreshments abounded from the Suncoast Food Trucks, TCBY and the ever popular beer tent. A good day and a great time. If you are considering adopting a dog, please see our list of local shelters and rescues here.
