There’s no place like home. No one knows that better than a shelter dog. Talbot Humane will celebrate all the pets who have found their forever homes at its 6th Annual Bark in the Park festival with a “Homecoming” parade and dog walk, Saturday, October 10 from 9 am-2 pm at Idlewild Park, in Easton. Bark In The Park is a free family and dog festival where dogs take center stage for the love and joy they bring into our lives. The festival is kicked off with a 5K Fun Run/Walk (dogs welcomed!), followed by a Homecoming parade and dog walk, dog show, agility and tricks demonstrations, carnival-style games for you and your dog, PAWrade of adoptable dogs, live music, craft & business vendors, local veterinarians and pet services, and delicious food.
Bring your leashed dog out and join us for a great day out with your pup!
Bark In The Park is one of Talbot Humane’s biggest fundraisers, and the money raised is vital to supporting the shelter animals. This year, our community has a unique opportunity to really help homeless pets by competing for their dog (or other pet!) to be crowned King or Queen of the Homecoming Parade. The male and female pet “contestants” who raise the most money for Talbot Humane will be crowned King and Queen of the Homecoming Parade and will lead the pack on Talbot Humane float. There also will be great prizes for the dogs and their owners!
Fundraising is fun and easy and can be done in many ways. The easiest and most effective way to gain support for your pet’s bid to be King or Queen is to make your own Crowdrise page for online fundraising. You’ll be able to share photos and information on why you want to help the shelter animals and why your dog deserves to be top dog on the float! You can set up your own Crowdrise page right from the Talbot Humane website at www.talbothumane.org. You can also talk to your friends, family, co-workers about making a tax-deductible contribution to your local animal shelter on your dog’s behalf. And, you can make your own donation! It all goes straight to the animals who need you the most.
Following the 5K Run/Walk on Easton’s gorgeous Rails to Trails, this year’s Bark In The Park will feature a Doggie Spa Tent, where your dog can be pampered, groomed and all dolled-up. Canine massage, a facial, and a nail trim with optional paint will be among the spa treatments available. All proceeds will benefit Talbot Humane.
