Here's a great event happening in Missoula next weekend for all kinds of pet-lovers in town. It's the 14th annual Pet Fest, taking place at the Missoula County Fairgrounds! Here's some info from their Facebook event page:

Pet Fest is September 14th, 2019 at the Missoula County Fairgrounds in Missoula, Montana. Don't miss it! Featuring pet adoptions,the Mutt Run, a Wiener Dog Dash, Doggie Olympics and pet products and Services for sale! www.PetFest.net for more information.

Pet Fest promotes responsible pet ownership with education through entertainment. Animal shelters are faced with an incredible burden of dogs and cats that they cannot find homes for. Having your pet neutered ensures that you will not be adding to the problem. Adopting from shelters and rescues provides loving homes instead of sitting in a cage waiting for a home or being humanely euthanized.

Admission is FREE, though attendees are strongly urged to bring a bag of new pet food to give to homeless animals, and all donations will be accepted and given to participating shelters after the event. Will you be checking this out?
