Doggie Street Festival

This was my second time at the festival. I love it because I get to try lots of samples of food, treats, and other items for my dog. I can learn about dog-​related businesses and products. There was even a vet there who looked at my dog’s teeth for free and saved me a trip to my vet! There are tons of dog rescues there, trying to get their dogs adopted. So many adorable dogs everywhere – it gets really busy!

Kurit for pets is participating for the first time! We are so excited. Look for us and tell us you saw us on Unilocal.Our cure all for pets is amazing. It will be a doggone it fun day!

This is a great event that takes place every year for people that have dogs or looking at adopting a dog. There are lots of vendors and Dog Rescues at this event. Some Dog Rescues have friendly staff and some don’t. We had a very unpleasant experience with one of the Pittbull rescues (PASSION FOR PITTIES) at the event this year. It was their Founder (Elise) — she was nice at first but became extremely rude (Steroid Rage maybe?). I wanted to say something about her terrible makeup job with her neon green eyeliner and her botched boob job — but decided to be a better person and just walk away. Other than that, all the other Pittbull Rescues that were there were more professional. I thought it was funny that she bad mouthed pet owners that don’t get their pets fixed — yet they had a pittbull up for adoption that WASN’T FIXED!
There were also vendors that provide you with tons of information for your four legged family member and tons of freebies and samples.
If you find a dog that you want to adopt, the rescues have you fill out an application first. Most of them let you leave the same day with your new furry BFF, but some still have to do some kind of a check at your home to see if your residence is ok to whatever standards they have.
Keep in mind that they don’t let you adopt a pet if:
1. You plan on keeping your pet outside (weird, i know… since dogs naturally live outdoors.)
2. You have kids (depending on the breed of dog you’re getting)
3. You have other pets (depending on the breed of dog)
4. You have other pets that aren’t «fixed»
5. You are renting a house/​apartment — you would need your landlords permission to have a pet on the premises
All the rescues have different adoption fees that could range from $ 100-​$ 400.

This was my first time going to this event. They had many vendors who made it out. Food was available for dogs and humans. It was a pretty large sectioned off area. There was not much shade so my bulldog could not handle it for too long. There were some umbrellas set up with chairs though. Freebies like balls, treats and bottles of water were given out. I would say this is a good event if you are looking to adopt a dog. Also good for getting info on local shelters. We had a good time just being out with the pups, letting them get their sniff on.

I went to this event in 2013, as I was just looking for somewhere to take my dog on a Saturday to get out of the house. I heard about this online and I decided to bring along a couple of friends to check it out.
The event was great, there are many different vendors and a lot of Rescue’s. So many doggies in need of a good home. I filled out paperwork for a dog but I was 3^rd in line so it didn’t work out. Fortunately, my friend was able to fill out paperwork, get her references checked all at the event and she went home with a new 4y.o. Chihuahua daughter
I will be going again this year, July 12^th 2014 looking to adopt a dog. Even if you’re not looking to adopt I recommend checking it out — they put on a great event!

If you are a avid dog lover, looking for accessories, or simply looking for a new pet to be part of your family, this Doggie Festival is the place to be.
I was on a walk, over the weekend and stumbled upon this festival. The first thing I learned that it was a yearly event, and it was everything dogs. (
) From organic doggie shampoos (
) to professional humane adoption agencies (
), the festival provided plenty for human and canine alike.
They had a variety of dogs, ready for adoption, from small little guys who like to pose for pictures (
), and larger dogs who were ready to stretch their legs. (
) I was very impressed with the variety of adoption agencies, that provided friendly and non pressured service to the general public.
Even though this event has passed, if you are a dog lover, definitely mark your calendar for next year’s event.

Today was the 5^th Annual Doggie Street Festival in Liberty Station, and it was a really nice event. Dozens, if not hundreds of dogs available for adoption from various shelters and rescue groups, various dog related services (doggie day care, training, etc.) and dog-​related products. They also had food and activities.
Lots of people checking out the exhibits w/​their 4-​footed friends in tow (our puppy doesn’t have all his shots yet, so couldn’t bring him this year). I ended up getting some information from various vendors, a couple doggie freebies — tote bag, Frisbee, etc, and ended up purchasing a dog collar, leash, and personalized dog tag, which has been on my to do list. I had a good time, and will be back next year!

My friend and I decided to check out the 1^st Annual Doggie Street Festival in Liberty Station today! It could not have happened on a more gorgeous day! and we had a ton of fun! so many cute dogs… it was hard to not take one home right then and there!
Basically what the festival is about is increasing pet adoption! It’s a FREE non-​profit event! Hooefully it was successful enough to do again next year!
There were a few vendors set up… some free stuff as well! Also they had a band playing some live music! If you love dogs it is worth stopping into! I had a good time!
