8th Annual “Dog Day Afternoon” The St. Augustine Humane Society will be receiving approximately $4,000.00 toward their good work for our furry friends following the 8th Annual “Dog Day Afternoon on April 3rd. Local charitable organization St. Johns CARES (formerly JCP CARES) hosted over 850 people and 350 dogs at Sunday’s celebration of all things canine. First Coast residents spent the beautiful afternoon with their best friends listening to music, practicing the canine obstacle course, enjoying dog washes, “pet-i-cures”, face painting, having their pictures taken and enjoying exciting demonstrations from Jax Fly Ball, Pals & Paws Dog Agility Club and a St. Johns County Sheriff K-9 unit. Visitors were again able to take advantage of low cost micro-chipping and vaccinations from Julington Creek Animal Hospital. Vendors of canine interest included Homemade Hounds, Lucy Lou’s Collars, Muttworks, Goberella and Origami Owl. The Humane Society was very pleased with the event and all animals brought for adoption found forever homes on Sunday. To learn more about the organization, please visit their website www.staugustinehumanesociety.org. A special thank you to Presenting Sponsors Julington Creek Animal Hospital, DogTown USA, Invisible Fence, Pet Supermarket, Pawsmetics, Rewarded Behavior and PDQ for their support of the event. Earth Pets supported the event as Event Sponsor and the Bartram Trail Rotary Club donated and cooked up the hot dogs for everyone to enjoy.
