For a real bark-tacular and paw-fect way to spend a Sunday afternoon with your best friend, join us for Bark in the Park in Wetumpka on September 17th, 12 Noon until 4PM! The event hosted by and benefitting the Humane Society of Elmore County will be held at Fort Toulouse!

There will be lots of vendors, activities, microchip clinic, refreshments, and demonstrations! There will be a blessing of the pets and the Parade of Pets! There will be secret judges to win prizes in such categories as biggest, smallest, and best costume.

The shelter adds, “there will be a variety of Silent Auction items (pet and otherwise) in the Pavilion so something for everyone. All Auction items must be paid for and picked up at the end of the Auction. If a person is the highest bidder but is not present when the auction ends, we will move to the next highest bidder present. We will be able to take payment via cash, check, credit or debit.

Microchips can be critical to reuniting lost pets and to help keep more pets safe, bring your dog to Fort Toulouse where it can be chipped. From 1:00 – 3:00 and for only $25 (which includes the registration) you can get your pet microchipped thanks to the Tuskegee College of Veterinary Medicine. Make sure to stop near the Pavilion at Fort Toulouse to purchase your 2023 Bark in the Park T-Shirt for $15. We are most appreciative of the Sponsors for our T-Shirt and we love this year’s Ameri-Pets Patriotic theme. We always have some delectable baked goodies as well and who doesn’t like homemade sweets!

Admission to Bark in the Park is $5/person 13 years old and older. ALL dogs coming to Bark in the Park must be good in public, meaning good around children, adults and other dogs in a very busy situation, AND they must have a current rabies tag/proof of rabies vaccination to come to the Park.”
