The Event
Dogs’ Day in the Park is our most exciting community event of the year! The event will be held at the Marge Goodfellow Park in New Freedom, PA on August 20, 2022. Humans and dogs alike are invited to join ARI for a day of fun to raise money for our Sanctuary for Life. The Mutt Strutt, a walk for pets, will be from 8 am to 10 am, and the main event will take place 10 am to 4 pm. The day includes vendors and rescues, games and contests, a flea market, Chinese Raffle, Silent Auction, cruelty-free foods, demonstrations, Rent-A-Dog, a lure course and much, much more.
The Mutt Strutt
During the morning of Dogs’ Day from 8
