Doggie fun at the Bay Area Pet Fair

Details: Written by Rob Holloway; Published: 06 October 2013

This weekend in San Rafael is the annual Bay Area Pet Fair & Adoptathon. We went down to see what was going on. It was very hot and very busy and we met many friends in the rescue business. It does not matter whether it's rabbits, cats, dogs or even chickens. We all do it because we care for these animals (and birds).

The Bay Area Pet Fair and Adoptathon is a large 2 day event that features exhibitions from the Novato and San Rafael K9 teams, dock diving and many other interesting activities. Once again, our friends at Petfood Express are a major sponsor and organizer. The event is outdoors and indoors.

Next year we will have our own stand for Bay Area German Shepherd Rescue. We felt that this year was too soon for us to ask our volunteers to spend 2 days on their feet talking with thousands of visitors.

Dave and Roxanne and the whole crew at DogTrekker were there doing a wonderful job and offering a sensational prize of a weekend stay at a spa. Rocket Dogs were crazy busy. We also met up with California Animal Rescue who we see at our Santa Rosa event.

We chatted with Christine and our friends at Golden State German Shepherd Rescue. They were flying the flag for German Shepherds. They are an awesome team and group and do an amazing job for the dogs. Special mention to Jane and the whole team at Norsled who specialize in rescuing Huskies.

If you love dogs, the Bay Area Pet Fair and Adoptathon is alot of fun! You'll see it advertised everywhere a few weeks before it happens.

Trainers2

Our dogs are super smart and learn very quickly with the right direction. We are often asked to recommend a dog trainer by people who adopt their new dog. Our belief is that trainer works with you to help you train your dog. Over the coming days and weeks we will be creating a list with contacts. We will only list trainers that our members have personally worked with and recommend.

Based in Novato, they offer an extraordinary range of training and behavior classes at very affordable prices. Many of our volunteers have undertaken their dog training classes with their personal dogs. We are huge fans of Dawn and her entire team. See them on line here and call them on (415) 883-4621

Lisa Caper runs DogOvation covering Marin County. Several of our volunteers have worked with her and they give great reports. Like all the best trainers her focus is more on training the owner to train the dog. You can read all about Lisa's philosophy on her website here and phone her at : (415) 299-1158
