Are you a dog lover looking for a day filled with canine and family fun? Join Save A Dog on Sunday, May 4, from 10 am to 3 pm on the grounds of historic Longfellow's Wayside Inn in Sudbury as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of PAWS IN THE PARK -- one of the largest gatherings of people and pups in New England! This year’s event features day-long music, local food vendors, kids games, dog games and contests, an agility course with try-outs, main ring demonstrations, raffles and a silent auction... plus 67 vendors and exhibitors including 17 animal rescue groups. Special highlights include a "Group Dog Walk" at 11 am led by Anna Meiler, WBZ News Anchor and host of WBZ's Sunday morning "Pet Parade," and Save A Dog's “Parade of Adoptable Dogs" at 12 pm. TRAX, the Worcester Railers Hockey Club mascot, will also make a special appearance right after the parade from 12:30-1:30 pm. Thinking of adopting a pet? PAWS IN THE PARK is a great opportunity to visit with representatives of 17 animal rescues from Massachusetts and beyond, and meet some of their amazing, adoptable pets. With us this year are: • Baypath Humane Society (Hopkinton) • B.O.N.E.S. (Beagles of New England States - NH) • Brown Dog Coalition and Rescue (Hopkinton) • Buddy Dog (Sudbury) • Collie Rescue League of New England (VT) • Commonwealth Cats (Peabody) • Crops and Flops Rescue (Westminster) • Greyhound Friends (Hopkinton) • Long Island Bulldog Rescue (NY) • Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society (Salisbury) • National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NY) • Northeast Coonhound Rescue (Lexington) • Paw-Affection Dachshund Rescue (Taunton) • PittieLove Rescue (Framingham) • Save A Dog (Sudbury) • Stray Pets in Need (Natick) • Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue (Hudson) Admission is $15 for adults and $5 for children 5-12. Kids under 5 are free, and strollers are welcome. (Admission is waived for those who set up a personal online pledge page and raise $15 or more. Go to www.saveadog.org/paws2025-pledges.asp) And of course bring your dog—if they enjoy being around people and other dogs—on a 6 foot or shorter leash (no retractable leashes, please). All proceeds from PAWS IN THE PARK benefit the life-saving rescue and adoption work of Save A Dog, a 501c3 tax exempt humane society. Now entering its 27th year, Save a Dog has found loving forever homes for more than 8,500 pets through its Sudbury shelter and dedicated network of foster homes. See you May 4th!
