I love to spotlight events coming up that help our furred companions! If you are part of an organization (or just know about one) that is sponsoring an event to benefit dogs and cats in some way; to raise awareness, to raise money, an adoption even, let me know and I will be happy to post it here!
Here’s Some Great Upcoming Events!
Pet Awareness Day Planned for May 5 – Midwest, OK – In recognition of Pet Awareness Day, the Animal Best Friends Foundation will hold an event at Lions Park on May 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Foundation public information officer Wayne Adair said veterinarians will be at the park and a pet trainer from PetSmart will be demonstrating how to train and control pets.
“This is to educate and provide information for pet owners on health, nutrition and training and just the joy of pet ownership,†Adair said.
