GULFPORT – Gulfport’s Get Rescued Animal Rescue Festival & Fun-raiser is returning for its 21st year with up to 50 animal rescue groups.
The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 22 at 3000 Beach Blvd. S.
“We’re so excited to be back for our 21st anniversary,” Suzanne King said. “This event is a great way to learn about animal rescue, meet adoptable pets and support local businesses. We hope everyone will come out and join us for a fun-filled day.”
The event will feature pet-friendly vendors, pet-care education, animal training demos, the Florida Weiner Dog Derby and raffles.
All leashed people and well-behaved pets are welcome. There is no admission fee to attend and plenty of convenient complimentary parking will be available throughout the area.
Proceeds from the event support participating rescue groups. Last year’s event raised over $9,000 and was donated to 26 rescue groups. Participation is free for 501c3 Animal Rescue Groups.
“Find your paw-fect match at Get Rescued because love is just a wag away,” said Francia Vogini of Husky Haven of Florida Inc.
