Puttin' On The Dog Festival
Armonk, NY (September 2013)—Adopt-A-Dog, an established non-profit
rescue/adoption organization with a caring sanctuary for dogs and cats located
in Armonk, New York, will have its highly successful annual “Puttin’ On the
Dog” festival on Sunday, September 22nd at Greenwich, Connecticut’s
Roger Sherman Baldwin Park. This year
marks the 26th time this important fund-raiser has been held to aid Adopt-A-Dog
in its mission to provide dogs with a safe, healthy and quality environment
while they await adoption.
The day’s activities for dogs, their
families and all pet lovers include performances by popular local bands, fun
dog competition categories, demonstrations, children’s events, shopping and
information booths, displays and food.
Some 7,000 people joined their four-legged friends at last year’s
“Puttin’ On the Dog” festival and this year organizers are hoping to attract
even more attendees from the tri-state area. Sponsor support is critical and
Adopt-A-Dog has been fortunate to have Pet Pantry Warehouse as a loyal
Presenting Sponsor of the “Puttin’ On the Dog” event. Returning Premier
