There will be something for everyone and every dog. There'll be cat and dog adoptions from L.A. City, L.A.

They offer vaccinations, de-worming, a physical exam for $20, nail clipping for $8 to $12. and HomeAgain microchipping, plus a lifetime registry for $45. They also offer treatments for eyes, ears, and skin; antibiotics; and flea and heartworm medications.
Then there'll be terrific raffles to raise funds for the Friends of Hermon Dog Park, and pet services and supplies. In addition to the three major pet shelters and Vet Care, confirmed attendees include: (of course) FHDP, Yappi Days Pet Sitting, LA Tails Magazine, Handle With Care Dog Training, the L.A. Stormwater Program, Guide Dogs of America, Aussie Pet Mobile groomers, Woof Dog Boutique and Barkery, and Paint Your Pooch with dog portrait artist Kristin Gilmartin. Also on hand will be: AJB leather collars and accessories, the Glendale Pet Resort, Dogs Gone Walking (just featured in Los Angeles Magazine), artist LisaAnn Sparks, Petagree Pet Sitting, Big Boned Dogs Collars & Leashes, and the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council -- which has helped financially to make this festival possible, along with Councilmember Jose Huizar, who is scheduled to attend.
Another interesting addition this year will be Los Angeles Animal Services Wilderness Officer Randall, who will be there to tell us about the wildlife we live by and how to keep our pets safe around them.
Invite your friends to come with you because it will be an exciting FREE admission event, (and Fritz has promised great weather). And, parking restrictions have been lifted for the event along Via Marisol, so there will be plenty of parking available nearby.
Again, that's THIS Saturday, July 19 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at our area's wonderful resource, the Hermon Dog Park.
See You There,

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER" FESTIVAL BRINGS PET ADOPTIONS,

Council member Jose Huizar,
Arroyo Seco Neighborhood

Friends of Hermon Dog Park
Again Sponsor
Major Eastside Pet Festival
Low-cost Health Check-ups and
Services for Animal Companions Featured
Hermon (Los Angeles) -- If, as the saying goes,
every dog is destined to "have its day" then this
summer's "Dog Days of Summer" family festival on
July 19, 2008, in the Northeast Los Angeles community of
Hermon, may just be that day for dozens of dogs
(and cats) -- along with the people who take them home.
For the third year, Sycamore-shaded Hermon Park will
be the site of a FREE pet event featuring fun for
all the family, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., this time
featuring pet adoptions, a "Puppy Party" hosted by Handle With Care
Dog Training (for young dogs new to the world of dog parks),
veterinary
technicians providing low cost health check-ups and
services, raffles, and dog agility demonstrations
guaranteed to "wow" the audiences hosted by Penny Scott-Fox.
The follow-on to the eastside's most unique pet
adoption event -- first celebrated as the "Yappy
Bark Day" anniversary of the 2005 opening of
the dog park in Hermon -- this year's "Dog Days" event will features new and returning animal rescue
organizations, including Los Angeles County Animal
Care, City of Los Angeles Animal Services, and the
Pasadena Humane Society. Each rescue organization
will bring its most eager, adoptable animal companions
along, all of them ready to steal hearts.
Top-level sponsors this year again include District
14 Los Angeles City Councilmember Jose Huizar and
the area's city-certified Arroyo Seco Neighborhood
Council, which serves the Hermon community and four other
nearby Los Angeles neighborhoods in Northeast Los Angeles.
Animal service and care providers are expected to
once again include pet sitters, groomers, and trainers,
and -- for the first time at Hermon Park -- Vet Care
pet check-up technicians offering low-cost
animal vaccinations, nail trimming, micro-chipping,
and other health services.
The jam-packed event has again been organized by
Friends of Hermon Dog Park - the Arroyo Seco-area
support organization for the Northeast only
dog park facility, located inside Hermon Park.
"Dog Days of Summer" will be held this year around
the dog park inside Hermon Park. Enter at the far
end of the park driveway, at 5568 Via Marisol, L.A.
90042 (between Monterey Road and the Arroyo Seco
Parkway/110 Freeway).
Friends of Hermon Dog Park, created to support the
dog park and promotes its use, was established in 2006
as a non-profit organization by original members of
the Hermon Dog Park Formation Committee and other
local animal and community activists around the
Arroyo Seco. The effort to create an off-leash dog
park in Hermon traces back to the formation period
of the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council in 2002.
Additional information on the organizers and updates
on plans for the event will be available at
www.hermondogpark. com -- as well as on the Websites of
select participants.
"Because it's all about the dogs" (and cats).
