The Boca Raton Dog Club is sponsoring NUTTS FOR MUTTS, an all-day festival for dogs on Saturday, November 1 at the new Amphitheater in South County Regional Park.

The event will kick off at 10 am with an animal blessing from Father Frank and Rabbi Frank, followed by fun contests for adults, young people and their dogs. PBSO’s K9 tracking unit will put on a demonstration, as will the obedience and agility clubs. There will be presentations on CPR and critical care from top professionals as well as from breeding clubs, the American Kennel Club, the American Red Cross and the fire department.

The Boca Raton Dog Club, a non-profit organization, will conduct raffles for the best products, services and gift certificates generously donated by local and national merchants.

There will be lots of great vendors at the event, including purveyors of food and beverages.

NUTTS FOR MUTTS will raise funds to provide every rescue vehicle in Palm Beach County with smoke inhalation equipment for animals.

Anyone interested in volunteering should call the Boca Raton Dog Club at 394-4404.

Vendors wanting to book space at the event should also call 394-4404.

It is recommended that you bring a blanket or lawn chair.
