From costumed pups parading down Commercial Street to the lively Pet Tea Dance at the Boatslip Resort, the weekend is filled with lighthearted moments, creativity, and plenty of personality.
Beyond the festivities, the event supports a meaningful cause, benefiting the Carrie A. Seaman Animal Shelter. This volunteer-run, no-kill shelter plays a vital role in caring for animals across the outer Cape while helping them find permanent homes.
