Dog PAWty Schedule & Activity Registration

How to Register Your Pet for an Activity or Contest

You must have ONE registration/waiver form completed for EACH dog that attends (even if not entering a contest) the WSCR Community Dog PAWty.
Fill out each form completely and be sure to sign (must be signed by an adult over 18 years of age).
Bring your completed form to the REGISTRATION tent to get your activity and contest tickets.
You will receive one ticket for each activity/contest per dog.
If you are entering any of the contests, you must register at least 30 minutes prior to the relevant contest.
You must arrive at the Meeting Place, along the south side of the church 15 minutes before the start time.
The contests are limited to only 12 participants each; entries are accepted on a first come, first served basis.

ONGOING EVENTS from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM:

The Bark Yard, a Pop-Up, Off-Leash Dog Park:

NO Activity Ticket required.
An opportunity for you and your dog(s) to come to a fenced, outdoor area to socialize with other dogs, and other people.
Separate areas are available for large and small dogs.
If your dog is up to date on their vaccinations/titers (according to your vet’s recommendation), is not displaying any symptoms of illness, is not “in heat” and does not/has not displayed aggressive behaviour, he/she is welcome to attend.
All dog owners must supervise their dog at all times – you can’t leave him/her in the play area and take a look at the booths.
Each dog owner is responsible for picking up after their dog if necessary, and intervening if there are any behavioural issues. You may be asked to remove your dog from the event if there are conflicts between your dog and other people/dogs.
The number of dogs inside the Bark Yard at one time will be limited.
Do not feed food/treats to your dog(s) or any other dogs in the off leash area or when in the immediate vicinity of other dogs (due to allergies, aggression, etc.)

The Rover Photo Booth:

Activity Ticket Required
Our Rover booth is a chance to get you and Rover dressed up in the costumes provided and have a photo taken. You will get one strip of photos per dog. Also take a selfie and post on Facebook page, or on Instagram using #wscrdogpawty and tag us: @wscrca.

Bobbing for Hot Dogs:

Activity Ticket Required
A version of “bobbing for apples” for Fido. See if your dog can nab those hot dog pieces out of the water! Did you know that hot dogs do NOT float? Start practicing now with your pooch so they can dive for those delicious snacks!

The PAWty PAWsport:

Grab your PAWsport from the Registration Tent and complete it for a chance to win a raffle prize. There will be a question for each vendor booth that you will need to answer to complete the PAWsport.
