Doggie Paddle, Dogs on Board and Safe Pets

This week I have a little bit of this and a little bit of that to share:

And you thought the pool was closed for the year…  think again!

This Sunday, come visit us at Pooch Plunge at Nashville Shores! I love the tag-line for this event “Come belly-flop and doggie-paddle together with your dog.” Too cute. This is a great community, family, and dog event to benefit NPT – Nashville Public Television. All dogs are welcome to come swim, enjoy the entertainment, and see some incredible flyball demonstrations! The celebration takes place from 1pm-5pm and $20 will get you + 3 in the gate (any variation of 4 including dogs.) Please stop by our booth to say hello – we love seeing friends!

Do not go fetch – go straight to the kennel!

How about a night in with the friends, family, and four-legged (or three-legged!) kiddos? Try Dog-opoly! You can only buy Boardwalk and get sent to jail so many times before you need a little something new. Instead of real estate, Dog-opoly allows you to buy different dog breeds and increase your rent by purchasing Toys and eventually upgrading to Big Bones. We always encourage dog adoption over shopping from breeders, but this is a cute and fun twist on a classic game, so enjoy!

ADS Security loves protecting our pets!

ADS Security has launched a great program called ADS PAWS (Pet Alert and Watch Systems) to help keep pets safe. This service includes fire and carbon monoxide protection, rescue decals for your home, pet safety profiles, and even pet cams. Rescue decals are available to the community for free and can be placed on your home to alert emergency workers of your animals inside your house in case of fire or other disaster. To request your free decal go to adspaws.com or stop by Nashville Humane Association.
