Upcoming Pets Event In Fairfield To Benefit Local Charities

The popular annual event is scheduled for later this month.

FAIRFIELD, CT — Pet Pantry Warehouse will host its annual Fairfield Dog Days event on Sunday, June 22, at Old Town Hall Green, bringing together pet owners, local businesses, and nonprofit groups to raise awareness and funds for animal rescue efforts.

The family-friendly outdoor festival, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., is free and open to the public. Activities will include lure coursing for dogs, face painting, caricature drawings, a bone bar, splash park, food trucks, and an ice cream station for pets.

Adopt-A-Dog, a nonprofit animal shelter, is among the beneficiaries of the event. “It’s a wonderful event for the community with activities for kids and adults,” said Christine Amato, Executive Director of Adopt-A-Dog. “We look forward to showcasing some of our adoptable pets and hope to connect with new foster families.”
