Join us in celebrating National Pet Month!  Stop by the Innovation Center for DIY pet toys for cats, dogs and little critters too! *While supplies last.* This craft is recommended for ages 14 and older. 

This program is part of our National Pet Month Fair happening from 11-1 in the Newspapers and Magazines area. Speak with local animal shelters, learn about pet health, visit with therapy dogs, and make a pet toy in the Innovation Center. We kindly ask that you leave your fur babies at home… but that doesn’t mean you can’t show us pictures!

Tabling organizations include:

Pawsitive Pantry

Hope Haven

NEADS

Tufts Paws for People

Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association

House Rabbit Network

Safe With Us

Canine Companions
