*Hound Pride: A Celebration of Paws and Pride!
Join us for Hound Pride, our fur-tastic Pride Day event where dogs take center stage in the most fabulous costume contest of the season! Bring your pup dressed to impress in their most colorful, creative, or downright fabulous outfit and strut your stuff with pride.

Whether your furry friend is rocking rainbow tutus, sparkly capes, or just a whole lot of attitude, they’ll have a chance to win fun prizes and earn the title of Best in Pride. It’s all about community, celebration, and four-legged flair.

Note: All dogs must be on a leash at all times. Let's keep the party safe and pawsitive for everyone!
