FURRY FASHION DISTRICT!
Some dogs just LOVE to be the center of attention... (Okay, really ALL of them love that)! Our Furry Fashion District features a Red Carpet, Photo Fashion Stations, outfits and accessories galore and more! Included with Admission!
PUPPY KISSING BOOTH!
As expected, the Puppy Kissing Booth was one of our most popular features in 2024! And even better than the puppy snuggles is the fact that some of those puppies kissed their way into a forever home ... LOTS of our adoptions began there! So, we're doing it again! Happiness really IS a warm puppy!
Our Puppy Kissing Booth features new groups of puppies on the hour, supplied by our participating adoption agencies! The pups will have a 45-minute shift, with 15 minutes to change groups, to be sure the puppies don't OD on all the love! Included with Admission (although you'll be able to donate to the puppy-supplying adoption agency).

HERDING DEMOS!
K9cation, headquartered in Hudson, CO, is hosting a series of herding demos. Their expert dogs will do the Demos hourly on the half-hour, and in between, your dogs can "try it."
Do you have a herding breed or herder mix? Ever wonder how intact their instincts are? Find out at the Denver Dog Fair. For a $40 fee and a signed waiver, you can get your dog into the ring to "Try It" and see if they nail it - or fail it! Demos included with Admission.

Thank Your Dog for being so Pawsome
Look for this one and be sure to write a Thank You note to your dog, bring a photo to tape up, or write a special tribute to your favorite fur baby.
It's our big Pawsitiviely Thankful wall, and by the end of the fair, we expect it to be full of gratitude and memories and wonderful notes of thanks, from us to them.
