San Marcos Annual Pet Fest Celebrates Animals

Pet Fest celebrates animals while benefiting PALS (prevent a litter program). 

PALS is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending pet overpopulation and pet homelessness through educational and spay/neuter programs.

At the event, there will be the blessing of the animals, a rescue animal parade, dog races, best trick, sit and stay competition, a K-9 demonstration, and a pet costume contest ~ pet costumes are encouraged.

There will be live music, a silent auction, merchandise and food vendors, kids’ activities, and arts and crafts. Also you will have the opportunity to meet and greet the homeless pets from shelters and rescues who are waiting to be adopted.

This is a wonderful celebration of all pets; restrained animals with nice manners are invited to this event as well.  All proceeds go directly to PALS, contributions are tax-deductible. To learn more go to:  www.PreventALitter.com/pet-fest.
