Description
Pets-a- Palooza is a free family- and pet-friendly festival that celebrates the joy of animal companions. The event features fun, food, and activities for people of all ages and their four-legged friends. A highlight of the festival is the Pet Walk and Parade that starts at 12:30 p.m. Walkers have a chance to collect goodies along the wheelchair-accessible, 0.8-mile route while meeting new furry and non-furry friends. Costumes aren’t required, though walkers and leashed dogs are encouraged to embrace the festive spirit of the day. While a registration fee is required to participate in the Pet Walk and Parade, the rest of the event is free. Proceeds from the Walk and Parade benefit Anderson Animal Shelter’s life-saving programs for homeless pets. To register, visit: http://www.andersonanimalshelter.org/PetsAPalooza Pets-a- Palooza also features free pet contests and demonstrations throughout the day, as well as pet- and-human themed merchandise for sale. Local businesses will have booths, and Anderson, along with other rescue groups, will have dogs and puppies available for adoption. The Mooseheart Child City & School campus also offers the perfect location for packing a family picnic or enjoying food that will be available for sale.
