On, Saturday, May 23 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., it's party time for dogs at Peterborough Dog Park, which is located at 1900 Ashburnham Dr.

The Peterborough Humane Society and the Peterborough Dog Club are teaming up to host the first ever Peterborough Dog Fest.

The event will include multiple vendors, mini-training sessions with The Ontario Dog Trainer Karen Laws, flyball demonstration with the Peterborough Flyball Dogs, a special visit from the Peterborough Police Service K-9 Unit, licensing, microchip clinic, BBQ and more.

This community event is free but donations will be accepted at the gates. All proceeds from the event will go to support the Milo Fund, which was established to help animals in need of life-saving medical attention at the humane society and to help with improvements at the dog park.
