We know that when you think 'PAWS of Muskingum County', you probably think of adorable cats at Petsmart and the Chatty Cat Cafe. Or, you think about our spay/neuter transports for kitties. And we did consider making the festival all about cats -- there was a short discussion about it -- but most cats aren't really into festivals, or crowds, or, you know, dogs, so we went another direction. We host monthly clinics that include pups, after all.
We put out a call for folks to participate, and WOW! We'll be highlighting different aspects of the festival in several blog posts -- today it is all about fun for the pups! There will be so much for your doggie to experience at the festival on Saturday, May 4th! Here's a sampling:
Pet FBI will be at the festival from noon on, with microchips, microchip scanning, and they will even check and update your microchip records! https://petfbi.org
The Winston Pet Hotel is bringing their grooming bus, and they will be around ALL DAY, offering $10 nail trims, and donating what they earn back to our organization! https://www.thewinstonpethotel.com
Fur Mama Factory will be bringing their doggie treat and gift shop bus, so that your canine companion can have a nice snack and treat! https://furmamafactory.com
Sit Means Sit will be showing off some of their well-trained pups: https://sitmeanssit.com/dog-training-mu/new-albany-zanesville-dog-training/gon
Gone to the Dogs will be demonstrating the power of doggie daycare and doggie fun: https://gonetothedogszanesville.com/
Drone Pet Recovery will be illustrating their ability to help find lost dogs. https://avodadrones.com/drone-pet-recovery
And of course, at 10 am the 1 mile fun run/walk starts, and your doggies are welcome there, too. (Remember, if you decide to participate at the last minute, registration opens on the day at 8:30 am). Direct link to the RSU registration page: Festival of PAWS Run & Walk (runsignup.com)
If you are not currently owned by a doggo, you will pleased to know that some of our local animal nonprofits will be there, too: Kind Hands 4 PAWS (https://kindhands4paws.com ) and S.P.O.T. - the Morgan County Humane Society (https://www.morganspot.org/) have both already signed up for spots at the festival. Rumor has it the Muskingum County Humane Society will be there, too!
And we are still a few days out -- who knows who will decide to join us, especially now that the weather report is looking wonderful? Only time will tell! Mark your calendars!
