All dogs must be current on vaccines and rabies shots. All dogs must be leashed at all times (except while swimming) and clean-up after your dog is required.

The event will feature free food catered by Diverse Catering and Event Design and Zallie's Shop Rite of Lawnside, a photo booth, swimming, fishing, games, face painting, raffle baskets, 50/50 chances, vendors and music by DJ Brett Fereday.

New this year is microchipping for your dog.

All proceeds benefit South Jersey Rescue.

South Jersey Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding safe, loving forever homes for our furry friends in need. South Jersey Rescue supports all animals in need, regardless of age or medical needs. Over the last year, South Jersey Rescue has stepped up to intake several pets that have been surrendered by their owners due to age, medical needs and housing situations.

The overwhelming need to assist these pets has been a significant financial burden -- making the need to raise funds urgent. South Jersey Rescue is made of a core group of volunteers that work from their own homes as well as foster homes so every dollar goes directly to the animals the group services. Funds raised are used to pay veterinarian bills, transportation costs to get dogs from high kill shelters to our rescue, spay and neuter costs, medication and food.

South Jersey Rescue is looking for vendor participation. Space available. This is the perfect opportunity to showcase your business. To find out more about becoming a vendor, contact Susan Schwarzman at admin@southjerseyrescue.com.
