Doxie Palooza for Dachshund Lovers on April 17

Doxie Palooza, a free event for friendly, leashed dachshunds and their families and friends, will take place from 12 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 17, 2016 at Country Comfort Boarding and Grooming, 3215 Cannonball Trail, Yorkville, IL 60560. The event benefits Dachshund Rescue North America (DRNA). Dachshund lovers without dogs are also welcome.

Events will include dachshund (wiener dog) races (weather permitting), contests for pets and people, food and product vendors and the opportunity to meet DRNA rescued dachshunds who are looking for forever homes. No adoptions will take place on the day of the event. Application forms and other adoption information may be found at www.drna.org.

DRNA is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization with a mission of rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing needy dachshunds and mostly dachshund mixes. DRNA has placed over 9,000 rescued dachshunds and dachshund mixes in homes since its inception in 1999. The group funds veterinary care and other expenses for dachshunds facing homelessness in shelters or as strays, owner surrenders or puppy mill survivors.
