25th Annual Paws in the Park!

Thinking of adopting a pet?&nbsp; Join Save A Dog this Sunday, May 4, from 10 am to 3 pm on the grounds of historic Longfellow's Wayside Inn in Sudbury for the 25th Annual PAWS IN THE PARK – one of the largest gatherings of people and pups in New England! Rain or shine, this is the place to be for canine and family fun! This year, PAWS IN THE PARK offers a great opportunity to visit with representatives of 17 animal rescues from Massachusetts and beyond, and meet some of their amazing, adoptable pets.&nbsp; Joining in the day-long festivities are: - Baypath Humane Society (Hopkinton) - B.O.N.E.S. (Beagles of New England States - NH) - Brown Dog Coalition and Rescue (Hopkinton) - Buddy Dog (Sudbury) - Collie Rescue League of New England (VT) - Commonwealth Cats (Peabody) - Crops and Flops Rescue (Westminster) - Greyhound Friends (Hopkinton) - Long Island Bulldog Rescue (NY) - Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society (Salisbury) - National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NY) - Northeast Coonhound Rescue (Lexington) - Paw-Affection Dachshund Rescue (Taunton) - PittieLove Rescue (Framingham) - Save A Dog (Sudbury) - Stray Pets in Need (Natick) - Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue (Hudson) &nbsp; Don't miss this annual celebration filled with music, food vendors, kids games and face painting, dog games and contests, a dog agility course with try-outs, alumni and littermate reunions, raffles and a silent auction... plus 67 vendors and exhibitors. Special highlights include a Group Dog Walk at 11 am led by Anna Meiler, WBZ News Anchor and host of WBZ's Sunday morning "Pet Parade." The Adoptable Dogs Parade at noon will feature dogs from our participating rescue organizations.&nbsp; And TRAX, the Worcester Railers Hockey Club mascot, will make a special appearance right after the parade from at 12:30 pm. Admission is $15 for adults and $5 for children 5-12.&nbsp; Kids under 5 are free, and strollers are welcome. (Admission is waived for those who set up a personal online pledge page and raise $15 or more. Go to www.saveadog.org/paws2025-pledges.asp) And of course bring your dog—if they enjoy being around people and other dogs—on a 6 foot or shorter leash (no retractable leashes, please). All proceeds from PAWS IN THE PARK benefit the life-saving rescue and adoption work of Save A Dog, a 501c3 tax exempt humane society.&nbsp; Now entering its 27th year, Save a Dog has found loving forever homes for more than 8,500 pets through its Sudbury shelter and dedicated network of foster homes. &nbsp; See you Sunday!
