“Pooches in the Park” returns to Lewes Canalfront Park on Saturday, May 13 from 1 to 3 pm for its 5th year of fun. This free, festive event caters to both 2-legged and 4-legged family members and features fun, creative and informative activities for dogs and those who love them! Attractions include interactive obedience and agility demonstrations, pet portraits, CPR and first-aid instruction, 22 specialized exhibitors, games and prizes.
The nationally-recognized, crowd-pleasing Delmarva Dock Dogs will be launching off the new floating docks at the park. Law enforcement K-9 units from across Delaware return to showcase the skills of both handlers and their canine partners in awe-inspiring maneuvers. Pooches should be on max. 6-8 ft. non-retractable leash. One dog per handler is requested. Pups receive goodies to take home to enjoy with their humans! This “fetching” event is free thanks to the support of Savannah Animal Hospital, PUPS Pet Shop of Lewes, the Issel family, the Tugend/Fischbach family and Friends of Lewes Canalfront Park. Join the fun in the beautiful park on the banks of the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal at 211 Front Street in Historic Lewes. www.lewescanalfrontpark.org hotline 302 645 2795
