Dog lovers take notice – it’s the 7th annual Barktoberfest, the ONLY event that raises money for desperately needed medical care and supplies for the forgotten dogs in town pounds. Raise money by taking a Walk Fur Dogs (with or without a pooch). Enter your dog in the Best Trick, Best Booty Wiggle, Oldest, Looks Most Like Owner, Fastest Sit, and Highest Jump dog contests. Do you think your dog has the potential to be a frisbee champion? Catch the high-flying excitement of the Skyhoundz Local Championship hosted by the Yankee Flyers Dog and Disc Club – they’ll show you how it’s done. Experience a visit to our Dog Wellness Pavilion (featuring massage, T-Touch and Reiki, Ask the Vet, microchipping and nail clipping).  Enjoy our fun food court, including delicious barbecue lunch and bake sale, and a silent auction. Admission to Barktoberfest is free. Visit the PoundHounds web site at http://www.poundhounds.org/ , set up your own walk page at http://www.active.com/donate/barktoberfest2007, or call PoundHounds at 508-435-5029 for more information. Well-behaved dogs on leash and animal-loving humans are welcome! Barktoberfest will be held rain or shine (most activities are in pavilions). PoundHounds is a non-profit group and your donations are tax-deductible! Please join us for Barktoberfest 2007 – the dogs in town pounds are counting on your support this year more than ever!
