Planned Activities:

•	A strolling Dixieland band will be on hand to entertain!
•	Get your current dog(s) microchipped and licensed — help him or her get home safe.
•	Ask the Veterinarian, Ask the Groomer, and Ask the Trainer all those questions you've wanted to ask!
•	A pet psychic and animal spirit guide. Bring your current dog and discover their hidden thoughts. Is she lonely? Does he want a new brother or sister? Is she a closet cat lover? Or use the latest spirit techniques to find your perfectly compatible new best friend.
