The SoCal Animal Response Team is presenting the 9th Annual Pet Fair in the Park this Saturday, August 16 from 9:30AM to 3:00PM at Marine Stadium Park. Bring yourself and your beloved furry friend to learn how to better prepare for your family and pets in a disaster.

Vaccination Services, Inc. and Avid will be offering $20 microchipping and registration from 10:00AM TO 2:00PM for your unregistered pet, while vaccines will be available from 12:00PM to 2:00PM. Free pet disaster preparedness information as well as free pet first aid demos will be offered to potential and current pet owners who want to learn how to handle an emergency.

Food trucks, opportunity drawings for raffle prizes, an Owner n’ Dog Look Alike Contest and the Shakey Quakey Trailer will make for an entertaining affair whether you have two legs or four. All proceeds from the event go toward SCART’s mission of responding to, training and educating the public about disaster awareness for owners and their pets. According to SCART, past pet fairs have seen upward of 300 attendees and averaged about 40 booths of vendors and services.

Marine Stadium is located at 5225 E. Paoli Way.
