Saturday is for the dogs
If your dog’s social calendar isn’t booked for tomorrow, there are two day-long events scheduled -- one in the city and one in the county -- that offer a chance to make some new friends and help support organizations that help find homes for animals.
The Humane Society of Baltimore County is holding its 14th annual “Bark in the Park Canine Games” from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the shelter grounds at 1601 Nicodemus Road in Reisterstown.
Meanwhile, Recycled Love is holding “Row for Rescue,” an event built around Al Freihofer’s 75-mile fund-raising row (see Wednesday’s blog entry and story), that will feature vendors and dog games and activities from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Inner Harbor’s Rash Field.
The Bark in the Park games will include “dog pin bowling,” an obstacle course, treasure hunt, races, and contests for best dog kisser, dog singer, costume, tail wagger, trick and for the “most beauty challenged” dog. It will also offer microchipping ($25), and presentations on establishing dog parks and pet relaxation.
Cost is $5 per person, $10 for first dog and $7 for each additional dog.
Row for Rescue will feature an animal communicator, an animal acupuncturist, flyball, a silent auction, vendors and music.
My dog, Ace, will be dropping by both.
Whether you’re a city dog or a suburban dog, or a little of both, it sounds like both events offer a little something for everyone.
