Bring your Best Friend this Saturday! 🐾
Downtown Guelph will come alive with dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes – and their human caretakers and families – for the first annual Downtown Dog Promenade on Saturday, September 23 between 11am and 2pm.
The event is free to attend, while some activities may include a cost. Donations will be collected on site with all proceeds supporting the Guelph Humane Society.
Several exhibits and events are planned, including a group walk through downtown streets, stations offering tips and advice from local dog groomers and veterinarians, a selfie station with costumes, and free puppy treats. Upon arrival, participants are encouraged to pick up a “Pawsport” at the red check-in tent near the fountain in St George’s Square and collect stamps from participating downtown retailers to be eligible to win gift baskets.
Event guidelines include:
All dogs must be on a 6-foot lead. Retractable leashes are discouraged.
No introductions between dogs without checking with their owners.
Refrain from bringing personal chews or toys.
“Downtown is very pet friendly, and we welcome our community to bring their furry friends for a fun day together,” said event organizer Iside Dallan, owner of Apple Salon. “We are grateful to our community sponsors, whose generosity has allowed us to make a $5,000 donation to the Guelph Humane Society.”
