The March for Mutts Expo, the first event of the outdoor pet event season, saw throngs of enthusiastic pets and their guardians brave a cold, wet March day last year. Despite less-than-ideal weather, the event garnered rave reviews. That’s likely thanks in part to the fact that Northwest pet people jump at the chance to get out for a day of play and learning . . . and boost a worthy pet-related cause.
Happening Saturday March 6, 9-noon, at North Clackamas Park in Milwaukie, this year’s March for Mutts will feature free dog bones from Bob’s Red Mill for the first 150 arrivals, games, vendors, and costume and other contests, demos in agility, k9 cop skills and flyball; “Stupid Dog Tricks” training; door prizes; and an agility course. Attendees can also meet/chat with area rescues and adoption agencies, visit the “Ask a Vet” booth, and obtain rabies vaccines and microchips at reduced rates. As always, the fun goes on rain or shine. Details 503-653-8100 or parks@co.clackamas.or.us.
Admission is $5/person; proceeds benefit Meals on Wheels in North Clackamas County. Donations of dog and cat food will go to the Meals on Wheels Ani-Meals program, serving pets of the home-bound.
