The Dog Days of sumer may not be until August, but De Soto National Memorial is planning a true canine version with Dog Days at Desoto from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
What a fine opportunity for you and your dog to spend a day together enjoying the outdoors. De Soto is inviting pet families to gather the leashes and join the park rangers for a day filled with activities, demonstrations and information promoting safe and healthy dogs.
Here's what's on tap:
Information on Dog Adoptions — Visitors interested in adopting dogs who need a good home can visit with representatives from Bishop Animal Shelter, Gold Coast Greyhound Adoption and the Humane Socieites of Manatee and Sarasota counties.
Pets Health — Dr. Luke Berglund from the Beach Veterinary Clinic on Cortez Road will be on hand to give free advice on your dog's health at the “Ask your Vet” booth.
Kids Activities — The kids will enjoy visiting the "reading fur fun" nook hosted by the Humane Society of Sarasota, where they can snuggle up to a canine pal and read aloud from books on hand.
Food — Dog on a Roll, a hot dog cart, will be under the main tent so visitors can take a break and grab a dog for lunch.
All events and activities are free, and hopefully the weather will cooperate. Otherwise the events are subject to change if it's rainy.
De Soto National Memorial is at 8300 De Soto Memorial Hwy., Bradenton (and the north end of 75th Street West).
