Fido Fest Debuts This Saturday at The Summit
If you’re a dog lover (like many of us), consider your plans made for this Saturday, March 12. We’re so thrilled for Fido Fest, a fabulous doggie extravaganza! This brand new event features everything for the dog lover (and pet lover) by bringing together local businesses and adoptable dogs for one big celebration this Saturday, March 12, hosted by and at The Summit in South Reno.
While many stores in The Summit will be participating with fun specials and giveaways, adoptable dogs and vendors will be located in the Center Plaza between Vans and Tilly’s. Fido Fest runs from 10am until 2pm. Festivities include:
• Fido Marketplace of dog-themed art, gifts, jewelry, pottery, dog toys and more
• Many adorable dogs for adoption (bring the whole family to meet your new friend, yes, this means dogs too!)
• One mile walk for you and your pooch hosted by Reno Running Company
• Live entertainment
• K9 Agility Course Demonstrations
• Retailer Specials and giveaways, including a chance to win a free dog bed from Orvis
• Food Trucks
• Free admission!
Dogs available for adoption include big and small, young and old, cute and yes, even the not so cute. Personalities blend between sweet and well-mannered to lively and energetic. There will be the everyday pup (the labra-doggy), exercise partners and champions of fetch (the pity party), dogs for date night (the small, fluffy, diamond collar kind), couch potatoes (seniors) and those that dig through your trash (the pre-teens). All dogs are $50 and have already been spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Plus, all adopters will get a free water fountain for their new dog. If you’re looking to add to your family Fido Fest is the perfect time to meet someone!
Don’t miss the Fido Fest After Party either, as there will be even more dogs for adoption at Nevada Humane Society after the event! The shelter is open until 6:30pm. Families looking to adopt are encouraged to bring kids and other dogs to make sure everyone gets along. We sure hope to see you at Fido Fest — we’re going to be showing everyone a doggone good time!
Featured Pet: We're Kuro and Kibo, but you may remember us as the Hidden Valley dogs — we were found at the park last week. We’re a dynamic duo who has been together forever and we’d like to keep it that way. You see, we do everything together — share meals, nap, play. We're also very well-behaved and energetic! Meet us today.
