Introducing Dog Days at Dover Bay Resort
A Weekend of Fun, Action and Entertainment for the Entire Family (Including Man’s Best Friend)

This year, the weekend of July 14-15 goes to our canine friends at the inaugural Dog Days at Dover Bay Resort. The two day benefit for the Panhandle Animal Shelter will feature activities and entertainment the entire family (including your four-legged relatives) can enjoy.

“Dog Days is filled with so many events that we had to divide it between two days,” Mandy Evans, Executive Director of the Panhandle Animal Shelter said. “For the athletic guests we have sheep herding demonstrations, agility courses and fly ball. On the main stage we will be hosting a pet talent show and several competitions including awards for the ugliest/cutest dogs, and of course we fit a Yappy Hour in the weekend too.”

Physical activities are not the only items on the agenda. “America’s Veterinarian” and well-known author Dr. Marty Becker will be joining his daughter, Mikkel Becker on stage for a dog training presentation. After the show, he will be available for a book signing.

There will also be vaccination clinics, adoption stations, live music and a “Raise the Roof” auction of locally-made, one-of-a-kind dog houses and cat castles.

For just a small recommended donation of $5.00, everyone can enjoy all that Dog Days has to offer.

“The goal of Dog Days is to share a memorable weekend with our faithful friends while raising much needed funds for the 1,600 lost, abandoned, neglected and abused animals we service every year,” said Evans.

The Panhandle Animal Shelter is a volunteer, non-profit shelter. Of the thousands of cats and dogs admitted each year, nearly all strays are placed in adoptive homes and several hundred are reunited with their owners. To learn more about the Panhandle Animal Shelter, go to www.pasidaho.org.
