| The cost to
participate in this benefit event is $10 per dog. This fee
includes a goody bag, as well as participation in the Dog Costume
Parade, Tricks-and-Treats for Dogs throughout Rhinebeck, and all
event activities. Want a discount? Bring one used towel, blanket
or sheet for each participating dog and receive a maximum of $1
off each registration. All used items will be donated to local
shelters. Registration will take place from 11-12:30pm out in front of Pause Dog Boutique. This year were going right to the people!
Proceeds from this event will benefit local families and pets in need. We
will be purchasing Natura Pet products for distribution at area shelters,
soup kitchens and rescue groups. In this tough economy, we believe that
this effort will help families keep their pets, rather than having to give
them up because they cant afford to feed them. Special thanks to
Armadillo Bar & Grill in Kingston - Merle is graciously helping us
coordinate the food distribution at local sites - and Natura Pet, which
has already agreed to donate food to help the cause get started. |
