Dog Olympics & Adopt-a-thon

Adopt a new family member or watch your dog “Go for the Gold” (or both) at the Dog Olympics & Adopt-a-thon. This fun family event will be focusing on finding fur-ever homes for cats and dogs from local rescue groups and animal shelters. Dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes are invited to participate in fun, non-athletic competitions. Olympic Games will be played in the morning and repeated in the afternoon. Your dog cannot be in the same game twice.

Admission is free. $3 per Olympic game or purchase a $15 Olympic dog bandana for unlimited Olympic games. Register your dog prior to the event or the day of the event.

Enjoy pet-related vendors, face painter and much more!

All proceeds benefit the Humane Society of Manatee County.
