Dogs In The Zoo is back for its 4th year!
Grab the leash and head downtown for Dogs In The Zoo on Saturday, September 12 from 12–4 on the Kalamazoo Mall…a paws-itively fun afternoon made just for you and your furry best friend.
Enjoy puppy kisses, adoption opportunities, splash pads and doggy pools, pup cups, paw printing, an agility course, and so much more. And yes—we’re bringing back the hot dog eating contest for the humans. Meet local pet-friendly businesses, snag some goodies, and make unforgettable memories together.
This tail-wagging downtown tradition is one you (and your pup) won’t want to miss!
