ABOUT THE EVENT:
Golden Dog Adventure Co. is excited to collaborate with our Lakes Region partner, Canine Connection, to celebrate their 1-year anniversary with a special community event designed to bring dog lovers together, highlight local pet professionals, and give back to a cause close to our hearts.
