This Saturday: Get Your Dog Out And About!

This Saturday, March 31 from 12 to 2 p.m., stop by the Lynnfield Common and check out the dog show organized by Girl Scout Troop 60186 in Lynnfield to help raise money for animal shelters.

Enter your dog in the show for just $5 - prizes donated by various local businesses will go to dogs winning categories that include best trick, most outspoken, wiggliest bum, and owner/dog lookalike. Dogs must be leashed and vaccinated and need to be checked in by 12:30 p.m. The raindate for the event is Saturday, April 7.

Also, owners can get their dogs' nails done by a veterinary technician for $10, and Mike Citro from Baystate K-9 will provide a police dog training demonstration.

Along with raising money for local animal shelters, the girls will also be accepting items commonly needed by the shelters. These items include paper towels, blankets, pet toys, pet food, cat litter, laundry detergent, string cheese, grooming brushes, and Front Line Plus.
