Benefitting the San Clemente-Dana Point Animal Shelter, the Wag-A-Thon Walk-A-Thon will feature pet contests, celebrity guests, entertainment, and the Bowser Bazaar. According to the Foundation’s Brenda Whitney, approximately 2,500 people and 1,000 dogs attended 2008’s event, “making it the Top Dog Event of Orange County.” The Wag-A-Thon will be held on Dana Point Harbor Island.

The participation fee is $30 per person, and includes an event t-shirt and goody-bag, and refreshments for you and your pet. Admission for additional family members (maximum of five) is $3, and includes refreshments. Children under age three receive free admission.

The Best Friends Animal Society’s Spring Adoption Festival also promises fun for the entire family. Festivities will include 60 adoption groups and hundreds of animals, food, entertainment, raffles, a silent auction, and a dog agility demonstration. Plus, for the first time, the Festival will feature Dancing with the Dogs, a choreographed dance competition of pups and their owners. The Festival will be held at Westchester Park, 7000 W. Manchester Blvd., Westchester.

Scooble.com, the online resource for finding the best pet food and services, will be on hand at both events with goodie bags full of special treats for attendees.
