Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer sanctuary tours during this event. You are able to schedule a personal tour of the sanctuary for another day/time by contacting our Volunteer and Outreach coordinator Eileen Ready: Eileen@martysplace.org

The Marty’s Place resident dogs will be out and about during the event handled by staff and volunteers. They will also be introduced at the start of the K9 Costume Contest. In addition, quite a few Marty’s Place alumni (Foster and Adopted) attend the event.
Designated handicapped parking spaces will be available for those with a handicap placard. Additionally there will be an ATV available to help transport anyone with mobility issues that make walking from the parking field difficult.
Well socialized dogs are welcome at the event. Dogs must be leashed (not longer than 6ft leash, no retractable leashes) at all times and you are responsible for cleaning up after your pet.
Children are welcome at the event but should be supervised at all times. Children are not permitted to climb on the farm equipment, are not allowed in the beer garden and should be respectful when approaching unfamiliar dogs.
You must be 21 to purchase alcohol in the beer garden. ID’s will be checked at entry and a wrist band will be applied. Drink purchases are limited to 1 drink per person/transaction (beer or wine). Drinks must be consumed within the beer garden. Please drink responsibly. Marty’s place reserves the right to refuse service.
There is no advance registration for these activities. You can register in person when you arrive at the event. Please check the schedule of events for registration and event times. Note that costume contest registration ends at 2:30 PM. You must be registered by 2:30 to participate. The pie eating contest has a limited number of dogs allowed in each weight category (sm, med, L, XL) so registration will close when each group is full.
There is no advance registration for the mini swim sessions. You can register in person when you arrive at the event. Signs ups are handled by 4Paws Adrift staff next to the pool building entrance.

Please note proof of rabies vaccine is required to participate in a mini swim session.
50-50 tickets are cash only. Cash is preferred for entry fee. Elsewhere in the event cash, credit card, Venmo, Zelle and PayPal will be accepted.
You need not be present to win the 50-50 drawing (3 winners this year!).

Also, this year you do not need to be present to win the “Super Basket” raffle! You must, however, be able to return within 7 days to pick up your winnings.
There is no rain date for this event. In the event of inclement weather (rain/wind), a decision will be made on whether the event will go forward as planned or be cancelled. Notices will be placed on this event page, on the Marty’s Place website, and on our social media platforms.
