DOGFEST 2008
The Cape Fear Golden Retriever Rescue, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit, volunteer organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of Golden Retrievers. We take in abandoned, abused and neglected Goldens from multiple counties, proceed with veterinary care, and nurse them back to health. We then find loving homes for them regardless of how long it takes. To help alleviate the financial stress of these undertakings we are hosting the Second Annual DogFest. Proceeds from this event benefit the Cape Fear Golden Retriever Rescue.
DogFest 2008 will be held adjacent to the Dog Park at Empie Park
on Saturday, October 25th from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
We are very excited about this fall festival for our four legged friends. There is nothing quite like relaxing in the shade with the pooch on a nice fall day while listening to music. There will be doggie games and contests to foster that relationship between man and best friend, as well as Halloween Costume contests for both kids and dogs!
