by Renee Roberson
K-9s in Flight will perform frisbee dog entertainment at the event on May 28.
The goal of the nonprofit Piedmont Animal Rescue (PAR) is to raise awareness of pet adoption and animal rescue, as well as save and rehome local animals in our area. Volunteers and staff know that to accomplish this goal, animal rescues should support one another as well as county shelters.
Continuing this mission, Piedmont Animal Rescue has planned their first annual Rescue Roundup for May 28. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Iredell County Fairgrounds in Troutman. PAR Events Coordinator Donald Gullett said that to his knowledge, this is the first animal rescue awareness event of this size in our area, and it is funded entirely by donations. The family-friendly event will feature rescue animals from other rescues and county shelters from across North Carolina, more than 250 vendors, raffles, food trucks, a kids’ zone, and more. Rescues are invited to the event free of charge. The group K-9s in Flight will perform professional frisbee dog entertainment. can visit with on the hotel grounds since December, and the effort has succeeded in adopting out 30 dogs so far, says Gullett. They modeled their program after the one at Aloft Hotel in Asheville.
Attendees will be asked to pay $5 per car to park, with proceeds from the parking going to help support the Lake Norman High School Marching Band. The cost to attend The Rescue Roundup is $2 per person for admission.
