Pet-a-Paw-looza for Pets on Wheels Next Weekend

EverythingDogBlog #54

Maryland has several county organizations called Pets on Wheels (www.petsonwheels.org), “providing friendly pet visits to help lick loneliness since 1982.”

I can’t think of a more rewarding job for a dog! Learn all about how to become a dog(-human) therapy dog team by visiting the website above or visiting the event next weekend at the state fairgrounds and have a blast while doing it! Print off information from the Pets on Wheels site for a discount ticket to the weekend funfest.

The Red Cross will even have a human blood drive to save you time, with discount tickets for donors.

To help celebrate these worthy worker pets, next weekend is the 8th annual Pets on Wheels Pet-a-Paw-looza for you and your dog.

Who: you and your family (and dog for the dog walk)

What: Pets on Wheels 8th annual Pet-a-Paw-looza

Where: Maryland State Fairgrounds, Timonium (easy access off 83)

When: Saturday July 13th & Sunday July 14th 2013 10:00am - 6:00pm
