Community Pet Day

Davis Bailey Park

5190 E Jim Bilton Blvd, St George, SC 29477

10-12 p.m.

• The Community Pet Day, made possible by a donation from Tito’s Handmade Vodka, known as the Vodka for Dog People, will provide valuable resources, such as on-site counseling, free pet supplies and over 25,000 pounds of pet food for those in need. The event will also connect residents with various local businesses offering support.
• The first Community Pet Day took place in January and brought out hundreds of residents, averaging three pets per family. Dorchester Paws anticipates an even greater response for this next event. Although this event will not offer on-site vaccinations and microchips, Dorchester Paws will be collecting contact information of pet owners seeking these services and will connect them to a local animal shelter offering vaccinations and microchips at no cost.
