Give the season a sloppy kiss goodbye at our End of Summer Puppy Party
Join us on Friday, August 21, 1–6 PM, to give summer a proper sendoff with a party that combines all of our favorite things: ice cream, dogs, bluegrass, and books!
Our End of Summer Puppy Party will feature children’s author Susan Blake reading and signing copies of Ruby A. Beagle, pet portraits by our own amazing graphic designer Jenny Boehme, local musicians strumming and plucking up a storm, and 10% of sales going to benefit Anti-Cruelty.
Bring your dog to join the fun with a special pup-friendly sundae and a splash pool on the sidewalk! Learn more and RSVP here (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1996823074569?aff=oddtdtcreator) .
