ALL DOGS MUST REMAIN ON LEASH AT ALL TIMES.

YOU MUST SUBMIT PROOF OF VACCINATIONS IN THIS FORM FOR YOUR DOG.

IF YOU ARE BRINGING MULTIPLE DOGS, PLEASE SUBMIT A SEPARATE FORM FOR EACH DOG.

Bring your Dog if he/she:
• Is old enough to be around other dogs and people (at least 6 months of age)
• Is up to date on all required vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella)
• Is in good health
• Behaves well on-leash and is not aggressive toward other dogs
• Is friendly toward humans and not excessively fearful

Don't bring your Dog if he/she:
• Is still too young to interact with other dogs or a big crowd (under 6 months)
• Does not respond well to large crowds and loud noises
• Has aggressive tendencies towards other dogs or humans while on-leash (or off)
• Is exhibiting any signs of illness prior to the Event (e.g., cough, nasal discharge, diarrhea, etc.). These symptoms can be a sign of potentially infectious illness. It would be best for your dog as well as the other dogs in attendance, if your dog does not attend the Event if he or she is exhibiting any signs of illness.

If you have a dog that is an aggressive breed, or with aggressive tendencies, you should STRONGLY consider not bringing it to the Event. We reserve the right to refuse entry to any dog or request a dog who has expressed aggression to leave the Event without a refund. Older dogs, dogs with short muzzles, and/or dogs in general that are prone to heat exhaustion should consider not attending the Event. Direct sun and heat can be a deadly combination for dogs. Dogs cool themselves by panting and are not nearly as efficient as us humans. Please keep the comfort and safety of your dog at the forefront of your mind.

We reserve the right to deny any dog or human entry to the Event for any reason. Participants are expected to practice responsible pet ownership. Do not bring your dog if it exhibits aggressive or unpredictable behavior in crowds, with other dogs, and/or with strangers. Do not bring a female dog in heat. Any participating dog must be at least 6 months old. Use good judgment regarding the temperament of your pet so that the Event will be enjoyable for everyone.
