A great event at the Arboretum to honor man and woman's best friend! Reserve a spot for you and your faithful canine companion to socialize with other attendees during All About Dogs Day at the Arboretum. Check out the 'Pet Expo', 'Meet the Breeds', 'Smart Dog Activities' and be some of our first guests to explore and give your thoughts on the Arboretum's future Dog Commons. A special presentation by Dr. Jean Larson at 10 a.m. will highlight plans for the Dog Commons and allow for Q & A.

$5 of every registration will go to the Arboretum's new Animal-Assisted Interactions program. Doggie goodie bags and a ticket for a professional pet photo with Lili Photo included with registration!
