Woofstock – This SUNDAY!

>Woofstock will be phenomenal this year but only if you show up! I’ve been so crazy with events and visitors and adoptions (yipee) that I have done a terrible job of promoting Woofstock.

We originally were aiming for a February date but there were conflicts with the park and at the last minute, we had the opportunity to get into two BIG, wonderful shows to promote adoptions.
