To celebrate ‘Love Your Dog Week’, there will be plenty of free paw-raising ‘fur and fun’ unleashed as the general public and their pooches come out to enjoy The Great Doggie Dine-Out & Paws Fest held to support Tri-County Animal Rescue (TCAR), themed activities for pet lovers of all ages and their furry friends kick-off with opening ceremonies that include a TCAR parade of alumni pups and their families, yoga and massages for dogs and their owners, a first-ever Great ‘Smooch Your Pooch’ Challenge, and Yappy Hour Singles ‘Speed Dating With Dogs’. There will also be curbside dining by Gourmet Truck Expo, a Tails & Tales Showcase featuring pet-centric vendors and event sponsors, contests and prizes, entertainment with doggie dancing and an after-dusk ‘big screen’ movie-in-the-park pet feature film presentation.

 

Promoting ‘all things TCAR’ -- the region’s largest 501c (3) 100% NO KILL animal rescue and adoption nonprofit organization -- there will be dog agility activities, ‘Love Our Pets’ care tips and training sessions and demonstrations, a meet-the-author-and-rescuers and book-signing for the new recently released “Rescuers Who Rescue” pictorial keepsake memoir featuring TCAR rescue pups and felines with Boca’s fire fighters and pet advocates, and much more. The younger set will have the opportunity to show both their ‘love and talent’ as they participate in painting The Great Community Paws Mural that will be later displayed at the entrance of the TCAR campus on Boca Rio Road (to be visible from the Florida Turnpike) and enjoy animal book storytelling sessions by local officials and community leaders. There will also be a ‘celebrities and their dogs’ scavenger hunt, pet-themed arts and crafts, and registration for TCAR Youth Ambassador program.
