The following guidelines also apply for our canine friends:

Mark your calendars (pun intended) … come on out and have a “pawsitively” fun day with your favorite pooch! Good excuse to spend some quality time with your dog, have a meet/greet with other like-minded members of the community and support the Larimer Humane Society. If you’d like to visit our booth, just look for the white canopy with the “lung ta” (wind horse) fluttering … Tibetan prayer flags! Hope to see you — and your Apso — in Fort Collins on May 9th.
