Operation Kindness Celebrates 25th Annual Dog Day Afternoon

by

Dog lovers unite! Operation Kindness, North Texas’ original and largest no-kill animal shelter, and sponsor Pet Supplies Pet are preparing for the 25th annual Dog Day Afternoon.

On September 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., locals can head over to the Operation Kindness Animal shelter in Carrollton for a free family festival to celebrate man's best friend. Stop by the Mutt Midway to check out the dozens of vendors and food trucks participating in the day of fun. 

As guests are jamming to the music from the DJ, they can enjoy face painting, unicorn photo opportunities, a puppy kissing booth, prize wheel and a variety of canine contests including “Best Costume,” “Best Stupid Pet Trick,” and “Best Pooch Smooch.” So be sure to dress your pup to impress.

“Dog Day Afternoon was created as a way to celebrate the bond between dogs and their owners, and to provide a free, fun event for the community to get to know us,” Jim Hanophy, CEO of Operation Kindness, says via press release. “This year we're celebrating the event's 25th anniversary and are so proud it has become the biggest dog party in town.”

This is one event you won't want to miss. It's the best way to close out the summer on the right paw.
