The Hall County Animal Shelter is set to host on Saturday, September 30 the first annual Furry Fall Festival at Laurel Park.
The event will last from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature an adoption area with adoptable dogs from the Hall County Animal Shelter and a free rabies vaccine clinic for guests to get their pets up-to-date on shots.
“One of our biggest focuses as a department is to ensure the public is educated on the importance of the rabies vaccine. Of course, rabies vaccines are available every week at the animal shelter, but this will be an opportunity for pet owners to keep their animals and the public safe at no charge to them,” Hall County Animal Services Director Trey Garcia said.
The festival will have a pet costume contest with a prize for first place, food trucks and vendors.
“We are excited to be able to host this fall event and ring in the season with our community pet owners and soon-to-be pet owners,” Garcia said. “The Animal Shelter continues to strive for ways in which we can successfully enhance our relationships with the public while providing education and services tailored to our pets.”
Free vendor reservations are still being accepted with a donation made to the Hall County Animal Shelter. Those interested in reserving a vendor's slot can contact Stephanie Maloch at [email protected] for details.
