The City of Kent and Regional Animal Services of King County have teamed up with Kent Station to promote dog and cat licensing in Kent while having fun. On Saturday, Kent Station will host “Dog Daze & Feline Fantasies,” an afternoon dedicated to cats, dogs and their humans.
The point is to help liven up the idea of getting your pet licensed – as of Oct. 2, an amnesty period for unlicensed pets will end in King County, meaning owners could be fined for having pets that are unlicensed.
However, the city and Regional Animal Services also are sending door-to-door marketers to Kent neighborhoods, offering residents the chance to sign up for licenses on their doorsteps. The door-to-door campaign runs through the end of the year, seven days a week.
At Saturday’s event, you’ll find a plethora of things to do, including:
• Super Pet Adopt-a-thon: Noon to 5 p.m. – Hundreds of dogs and cats will be on-site for adoption.
• Dog Couture Fashion show: 1 and 4 p.m.
• Pet/Owner Look-a-Like Contest: 1 p.m.
• Pet Costume Contest: 2 p.m.
• Pet Parade: (following the costume contest)
• Pet Show: 3 p.m. – Categories include Longest Whiskers, Curliest Tail, Prettiest Nails.
• Happy Hour: Noon to 4 p.m., Kent Station fountain stage with Mama Stortini’s concocted pet-theme drinks
• Kent Police K-9 Demonstrations
• Animal-obedience and agility demonstrations
Pets must be licensed to participate, and licenses can purchased at the event.
Prizes are Kent Station gift cards and treats from local pet-related businesses.
Pet-related businesses will be at the event.
