This Valentine’s Day dog devotees can show how much they love both their own barking buddy and all of our four-pawed pals in need at a happening with a lot of heart– the 21st annual Paws in the Park.
Celebrity Spotting
- It’s Me or the Dog star Victoria Stilwell will be making an encore appearance at Paws in the Park, with the queen of canine comportment holding court over training demonstrations as she teaches pet parents tricks to learning what goes on in the mind of our tail-wagging chums.
Activities
- Registered walkers will help to make great strides toward a better future for Fidos and felines in need with every step they take along a fundraising pet walk.
- Dock diving dogs will make a big splash during a competition that will showcase their skills.
- Children and fur babies alike will enjoy the activities at the Walt Disney World Resort-hosted Disney Kids and Family Together Zone.
- The family Fido can wow the crowd by darting through obstacle courses in the Doggie Fun Zone.
- Spectators can cheer for the Spots who will show off their talent in fly-ball demonstrations at the Canine Sports Arena.
- Keep your canine companion safe by having him/her microchipped at an on-site clinic.
- Plus vendors, food trucks and much more!
A day of play for a higher purpose with an estimated 4,000 animal lovers and 600 dogs attending, the event will help to raise funds for the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando. Formerly known as the SPCA of Central Florida, the organization helps more than 12,000 homeless dogs and cats each year, and provides veterinary care for 45,000 companion animals at two clinics.
