A DOG DAY AFTERNOON

DOG DAY AFTERNOON A HUGE SUCCESS!

A fun day for the entire community

More than $2000 was raised for H.A.W.K.E. (Humane Association of Wildlife Care and Education), an organization in St. Johns County that rescues, rehabilitates and releases back to the wild injured animals.  Hundreds of people from as far as Jax beach and Orange Park came out to Plantation Park in Julington Creek on Sunday, March 20^th to enjoy the wonderful weather as well as have a great day with their pets.  The event featured dog washes, pet-i-cures provided by Critters Mobile Pet Spa, pet photos provided by Shangrila Dogs and an obstacle course, etc. for the lucky pooches that attended.  Students from both Bartram Trail School and Creekside High Schools also did Poochie Portraits and face painting for the children.   Officer Mullenix from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Dept. K-9 division came out with his dog, Kobe, and fellow officer Andy Stoinoff to do an impressive demonstration for the crowd.  Food was provided by the Bartram Trail Rotary Club and of course the primary food for the day was hot dogs!  The event was sponsored by Valley Crest, Invisible Fence, Wild Birds Unlimited and Two Men and A Truck.
