The 2011 Wags n’ Whiskers Festival

On Sunday August 28, C.A.R.E.4Paws will host its third annual Wagsn’ Whiskers Festival at Girsh Park in Goleta from 11am to 4pm. The event—the largest adoption festival in Santa Barbara County—features adoptable dogs, cats and bunnies from each of the county’s 20 animal shelters and rescue groups and showcases a wide range of local pet service providers and animal welfare groups.

Festival-goers enjoy such activities as agility shows by Goleta Valley Dog Club, Flyball with the SuperSonics, a police dog performance and dog training demos by local trainers. They also learn about the latest in animal wellness from local veterinarians and healthcare professionals. C.A.R.E.4Paws’s fun and educational Pawsitive Thinking Kids Corner invites children and their parents to discover how to care for all living beings. Plus, visitors can raffle for a range of great prizes.
