VALENCIA - Pet owners are invited to bring their four-legged friends to a free community fair Sunday in Old Orchard Park, Valencia, Santa Clarita.
The third annual Bow-Wows & Meows Pet Fair will celebrate pets, encourage animal awareness and promote pet adoptionPet adoption usually refers to the process of taking guardianship of and responsibility for a pet that a previous owner has abandoned or otherwise abdicated responsibility for.
Fairgoers can expect to see demonstrations, exhibits of pet supply vendors and entertainment. Besides all the animal booths and activities, the event will have great ``people food'' plus a balloon balloon, lighter-than-air craft without a propulsion system, lifted by inflation of one or more containers with a gas lighter than air or with heated air. During flight, altitude may be gained by discarding ballast (e.g. jump for kids).
An animal shelter is a facility that houses homeless, lost or abandoned animals; primarily a large variety of dogs and cats.
Workers will be on hand to show adoptable dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in need of loving homes. The annual event started as a way to increase public awareness of the plight of homeless pets, and at last year's fair 60 animals were adopted.
Low-cost vaccines and spaying-and-neutering referrals will be available. Pet owners can also renew their pet licenses on site.
Residents who would bring their dogs to the fair are invited to join the Fun Dog Show. Unlike serious dog show events seen on television, this one awards prizes for top dogs in silly categories, like largest or smallest dog, silly pet trick, mystery mutt and owner/pet look-alikes. There is a $10 registration fee for the dog show.
The main event of Sunday's fair is the finals of the World Cup Frisbee Dog Competition. Qualifying competition rounds are being held today at Canyon Country Park.
Have you ever wondered what your dog Spot is thinking? A pet psychic/animal communicator will be at the fair to provide some insight.
Bow-Wows & Meows is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Old Orchard Park, 25032Avenida Rotella, Valencia.
