Fur Baby Love Fest

"Celebrate Fur Babies and Support Oregon Dog Rescue at the First Annual “Fur Baby Love Fest”!

Gladstone is going to the dogs—in the best way possible! Get ready for wagging tails, wet noses, and a whole lot of heart at the First Annual Fur Baby Love Fest—a free, family-friendly celebration of all things furry and fabulous, benefiting Oregon Dog Rescue.

Happening Saturday, September 20th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Meldrum Bar Park,
this community event is open to all ages—and of course, their friendly, leashed pups.

Expect an unforgettable day filled with:
Pet-loving vendor booths with treats, toys, and more
️Raffle prizes you’ll actually want to win
Live DJ beats to get those tails wagging
Doggie costume contests & fashion shows (yes, really!)
On-site adoptions for those ready to meet their new best friend
Fun demos & surprises around every corner!

But it’s more than just a pup party—it’s a cause with heart. With local shelters at capacity and so many dogs in need, Oregon Dog Rescue is calling on the community to consider fostering. Even a short-term commitment can save a life.

Admission is free, and donations (monetary or supply-based) are warmly welcomed. All well-behaved dogs must remain on leash.

So bring your fur babies, your families, and your friends for a day of community, kindness, and canine cuteness. Let’s celebrate the love our dogs give us—and give back to the ones still waiting for their forever homes."
