What a perfect day Sunday was for Bark in the Park and fun outside with our dogs and friends! The weather was gorgeous, we had a wonderful turnout of dogs and people alike! Everyone seemed to have a simply wonderful time, the vendors made lots of sales and new friends, and it was just a great afternoon all around. Check out our Shelter Facebook page so you can either find yourself or see all the fun you missed if you were unable to attend.
This was our 16th year for Bark in the Park and, as always, Fort Toulouse was perfect for our event!

With the help of Tuskegee Veterinary College, 23 dogs were microchipped thereby enhancing their chances of being reunited with their family in the, hopefully rare, event they ever become lost. Two of our pups were adopted and 50 dogs went home with their very own and unique Pet Picasso paintings – a record number indeed!
The Silent Auction of Pet Items and more was a huge success and not only helped us raise a bit more money but let some pet owners go home with some treasures they can put to great use for their pets.

Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. André Harrison for being our Master of Ceremonies and announcing our Pet Parade, to Rev Mark Waldo for conducting our Blessing of the Animals and to Charlie Helton for providing our sound system! The Pet Parade was huge and what fun it is to see so many loved dogs with their owners as we think all dogs deserve their very own parade!
We have a few of our “Keep it Pawsitive” 2022 Bark in the Park T-Shirts left, and you can purchase them at our Shelter office or Tail’s End Thrift Store for $15!
And finally, our sincere thanks to our Board Members, Staff and Volunteers who work hard to ensure Bark in the Park runs smoothly and is fun for all who attend. Look for another great year in 2023 for year 17!
Clair is a Shepherd mix, sevenmonths old and only about 45 lbs., so not a big gal. She was found as a stray and brought to the shelter but no one ever came for her. She is a very sweet dog that loves to play and does have some extra energy to channel. The bowls in the kennels get quite a workout after breakfast every morning! Clair is smart, willing to please, is very respondent to treats and loves attention.
Adoption fees are $100 for dogs and $50 for cats under one-yearold; cats over one-year-old can be adopted by approved adopters for a fee of their choosing.
