This upscale puppy party is open to the public and will feature unique
activities and treats for pets and their owners. Guests also will have the
chance to adopt a loving dog from the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society and
learn health and training tips from behavioral specialists from Penn's School
of Veterinary Medicine. Families can enjoy arts and crafts, play games, or
help mend a stuffed animal at the Penn Vet M.A.S.H. tent.
Area dogs will have a woof of a good time by having their photo taken by a
dog friendly photographer, seeing into their future with a paw reader, or
being sketched by a caricaturist. They can paw-around to howling music then
cool off at the Commerce doggie water bars throughout the Park. Audiences
will marvel as professionally-trained dogs zigzag, leap and run during agility
demonstrations.
A Fox 29 personality will be Grand Marshall and will commence the popular
doggy costume parade with area celebrity judges at noon. Adoptable dogs will
strut the "red carpet" in the newest fall fashions followed by more than a
hundred dogs walking the run away to vie for top prizes for best-dressed, best
sports fan, and best dog and owner look-a-like.
The Carnivale of the Dogs is presented by Commerce Bank in partnership
with the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, and
supported by WTXF-FOX 29, PhilaPets.com, and PAWS.
