What's a WagFest?
WagFest is a fun way to help raise money for special PAWS programs, specifically two new initiatives -- PAWS Dog Adoption Days and the PAWS Visiting Therapy Dog program. WagFest is also a celebration of all things dog and great fun for families and their pets!

In addition to a 1.5-mile fundraising walk, this benefit event will feature all sorts of doggie demonstrations, activities, vendors, and contests -- watch this space for schedules and descriptions as the event draws nearer.

How Can I Participate?
--Pitch in and put together a fundraising team to benefit PAWS' new dog programs. You don't have to have a dog to participate, but teams do need to pre-register to be eligible for prizes and trophies and the coveted WagFest Cup. Click here for registration, a team captain form, and more information.

--Companies, organizations, or individuals can become WagFest Sponsors and get great publicity, visibility, and help a great cause -- all at the same time. Click here for information on sponsorship levels and deadlines.

--WagFest will draw hundreds and hundreds of pet-oriented families to Battle Point Park for a day filled with activities. Your company or organization can run a Vendor Booth to get in on the action. Click here for vendor information.

The Microchip clinic will be from 10am - 1pm. $20.00 fee. Why Microchip your pet? Over 127,000 lost pets have been reunited with their owners thanks to microchipping. No method is perfect, but more identification dramatically increases the odds of finding a lost companion.

Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Program
The CGC is a certification program designed to reward dogs that have good manners at home and in the community.  All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.  If your dog can pass the CGC test, you are only 4 exercises away from having a certified Therapy Dog!  Read more....

A Canine Good Citizen test will be held at WagFest at 11:00.  If you are interested in participating in the test, please contact Judith Bell of BeauJes Dog Training at 360-797-7979 or email Judith@beaujes.com. We only have room to test 20 dogs at the WagFest so sign up now!
