Please plan to bring your entire family to the event. If you have a resident dog(s) and he/she’s up to date on all shots, please bring him/her for a Meet’n’Greet and someone to handle him/her outside, as he/she can’t come inside until the vet check has been competed and a private meeting is scheduled. if you aren’t pre-screened, please bring all vetting records and history for your resident dog(s). Respectful children are always welcome when supervised by a legal guardian.
Public dogs are welcomed into the event space
