We’ve put together an interactive fun zone to give all the canines a chance to meet new friends, try new experiences, and burn off their energy! Let them try the agility course and take unlimited turns chasing after the lure in the Dog Lover’s Day lure course all free of charge!<\/p>\n
We’ve got all the entertainment to make the day memorable for everyone! Here are just some of the things you’ll experience when you attend.<\/p>\n
An important part of the day is raising funds to support the animal rescues in attendance. Be sure to stop by the big green barn to check out all the ways to be a part of the fundraising efforts!<\/p>\n
One of these is a secondhand marketplace where you can drop off new and gently used pet-related items you no longer need and\/or make a financial donation to take items off the table.<\/p>\n
We also have a custom-designed heat transfer available in white and black that you can purchase and iron onto your own shirt or another item and 13oz glasses to take home and enjoy your favourite drinks in.<\/p>\n
Our silent auction will include pet-related and non-pet items, so be sure to check it out at the event and online (link to come)![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ background_image=”1055″ background_image_position=”center center” background_image_stacking=”default” enable_bg_scale=”true” background_image_loading=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” column_direction=”reverse” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-10-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1703175843908{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]\n
Head to the reptile & bird building to see snakes, lizards, spiders, exotic birds, and more! You can even pose for photos with some of them! Shop for your scaly, feathered or many-legged family members and make some new friends while you are there.<\/p>\n
This is where you will find the Ontario Reptile Rescue, which is one of our beneficiaries, and their adoptable animals!<\/p>\n
We also have Reptilia coming to share some of their fantastic animals and to talk about the importance of choosing the apropriate reptile if you are thinking of adopting one.
