Concord Arts Market is holding its very own Pet Day on Oct. 17 in Eagle Square. The Concord SPCA, Live and Let Live Farm, Greyhound Pets of America and pet-related vendors will all be in attendance. Pet Day is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free.
The Concord SPCA will have volunteers and staff to answer questions. There will also be animals available to visit that are looking for homes. Could this be the day you meet your new furry family member?
Live and Let Live Farm is an animal rehabilitation rescue shelter and sanctuary in Chichester, for abused, neglected and unwanted animals – mostly horses. Come visit for more information on how you can help their worthy cause and meet Whinney the mini pony!
Greyhound Pets of America helps find homes for ex-racing greyhounds and educates the public on the suitability and availability of greyhounds as pets. Stop by their tent for more information and meet some sweet, loving and graceful dogs.
A juried variety of pet-related vendors, fine artists and artisans are also scheduled for the day, including makers of pet gear, pet portraits, safer/earth-friendly pet toys, handbags, glasswares, paintings, jewelry, yarn, wreaths, hip graphics gear and more. Bring along Buffy the bulldog, Scooter the cat, Herman the hamster or Noah the parrot. All are welcome, provided they are leashed and ready to play well with others!
One of those most important features of Pet Day at Concord Arts Market is the pet food drive to benefit the Concord SPCA's Making Ends Meet program. Making Ends Meet is a pet food program to help pet owners who need temporary assistance with feeding their pets. Cat food (of any kind) is the greatest need right now. Please pick up a bag before heading over and drop it off to help a needy family keep their beloved pet in these tough economic times.
