WAG-O-WEEN CANCELLED
Update from our team:: After watching the weather progress, and consulting with our Emergency Management Team regarding the weekend forecast, we are so disappointed to share that we must cancel our first-ever Wag-O-Ween event due to the forecasted probability of rain and thunderstorms throughout the Friday–Sunday time frame. Unfortunately, the weather conditions make it unsafe and impractical to proceed with an outdoor event of this nature.
This decision was not made lightly, as we were truly looking forward to celebrating with our community and all of you who have supported this event from the start. We deeply appreciate your enthusiasm, time, and commitment.

*******Our friends at Coalition for Animal Protection will be moving the low cost vaccination clinic just down the street to their Arlington location! We are also thrilled to share FREE rabies vaccinations and microchips will still be given! The address is 2400 SE Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington, TX 76018.
