2nd ANNUAL DOG LOVERS FAIR PROMOTES PET POWER!
DOG ADOPTION EXTRAVAGANZA
& LOW-COST MICROCHIPPING
RETURN OCT. 18th TO EL PASO SADDLEBLANKET CO.
El Paso, Texas—There’s much more woofing in the wind as pooches and their people prepare for the 2nd Annual DOG LOVERS FAIR & ADOPTION EXTRAVAGANZA Saturday, Oct. 18, 2008, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (adoptions until 3 p.m.) at El Paso Saddleblanket Co., 6926 Gateway East (Exit 25 between Airway and Hawkins) across from Cielo Vista Mall. Held in the parking lot of El Paso Saddleblanket, the FREE admission event benefits the Humane Society of El Paso (HSEP). Low-cost microchipping also will be available on-site from HSEP.
A celebration of all things canine, the Dog Lovers Fair and Dog Adoption Extravaganza welcomes those chaperoning the well behaved and leashed loves of their lives: purebreds and their counterparts—those beloved, beautiful blends of canine diversity. Dogs make a house a home and like potato chips, you can’t have just one. For those with room and heart enough for one (or two!) more, the free fair hosts several area animal rescue groups and the PETsBARN’s “Pet-to-Go” Adoption Trailer (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) with dozens of canines seeking cookies, couches and cuddles at their new forever homes.
Lots of animal-oriented pet services and businesses representing dog care, training, grooming, holiday gifts and more will be on-hand. Refreshments will be available for humans and canines (check out the Doggie Deli!). Does your dog have great personality, looks or a lack there of? Enter our Canine Contests and vie for fun toys and treats. We’ll have random drawings and door prizes for people, too. Don’t miss a day loaded with exhibits, demonstrations, food, music and interactive fun for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Admission is free for everyone. Just remember that no outfit is complete without dog hair!
Animal welfare organizations operating booths will distribute their group’s information, accept donations and/or offer canine goodies for purchase. The non-profit rescue groups include the Humane Society of El Paso, Animal Cruelty Heartline of El Paso (ACHE), Animal Rescue League, Chantelle’s Standard Poodle Rescue, From the Heart Rescue, Great Dane Rescue of El Paso, Jeff Davis County Humane Society, Lone Star Greyhounds/Greyhound Pets of America, New Hope Alliance and Southwest Collie Rescue.
