Thank you to everyone for another wonderful fox hunt.  This year, SubMissAnn volunteered as our fox… and got to keep her tail despite being chased by three hounds and two ponies!

Calling all pups!

Next week is Los Angeles Puppy Pride weekend.

Here is the itinerary, which includes the LA Pup Contest 2020:

LA’s premier human Dog Show, Puppypalooza, is back for an encore!

On February 9th, we had over 30 attendees for Puppypalooza, and earned $650 for the ASPCA. We had so much fun, we decided to do it again!

Join us Saturday, October 19th, for six hours of games designed especially for you.  We celebrate our diversity and welcome all four-legged humans, including but not limited to, leather pups, rubber pups, foxes, kittens, and everything in between!

Our event is held at Sanctuary Studios LAX, which has previously hosted EQUUS, petplay socials, and petplay playdates.  Check-in is at 10 am; events start at 11 am.  Registration is $20 online and $25 at the door.

We’re gearing up for the fall fox hunt!  Now that we’re reserved all of the Rose Valley Campground in Ojai, it’s time to talk logistics!

We also have two fox hunt socials coming up. 

The first is Monday, September 23rd, and the second is Thursday, September 26th.  Go to either event for delicious pizza and to ask any questions you might have about the hunt!

It may feel like summer, but autumn is just around the corner, and that means we have an upcoming fox hunt!
