Easter Egg Hunt for Da Dogs

Easter Dog Egg Hunt – A Fun Event for a Great Cause! 🐶🥚🎉

Join The Elm City Dog Project for our first-ever Dog Egg Hunt, where pups can sniff out treat-filled eggs and enjoy a fun-filled day, all while supporting a great cause! The Elm City Dog Project is dedicated to advocating for the welfare of dogs in Ecuador and New Haven, helping to educate, advocate for dogs' welfare, and build sanctuaries for those in need.

🐾 Egg Hunt Fun – We’ll have 10-15 minute sessions based on three levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard, with different colored eggs containing treats suited for dogs with allergies.
🐾 Safe & Organized – All dogs must remain on leashes at all times; off-leash dogs will be asked to leave per local city and park rules. We will also space out the dogs to minimize any conflicts.
🐾 Vaccination Requirement – Upon check-in, owners must show proof of vaccinations for their dogs to participate.
🐾 Prizes & Golden Eggs – Dogs that collect the most eggs will win small prizes, and we’ll also have special golden eggs with extra surprises, including 2-3 grand prize baskets!
🐾 Local Vendors – Enjoy shopping and learning from local pet-friendly businesses that will be joining us.
🐾 Participation Fee – There is a $5 entry fee per dog, which will go directly toward supporting The Elm City Dog Project’s mission to advocate for and improve the welfare of dogs in Ecuador and New Haven.

Come out, have fun, and help make a difference! 🐕💛

To ensure a safe, fun, and stress-free event for all dogs and their humans, we kindly ask participants to follow these rules:

1. Leashes Required at All Times – All dogs must remain on a leash throughout the event. Off-leash dogs will be asked to leave per city and park regulations.
2. Vaccination Requirement – All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations. Proof of vaccination is required at check-in.
3. No Aggressive Dogs – Dogs showing aggressive behavior (excessive barking, lunging, growling) may be asked to leave to maintain a safe environment.
4. Respect Other Dogs & Owners – Please maintain a safe distance between dogs. Not all dogs are comfortable with close interactions.
5. Clean Up After Your Dog – Owners are responsible for picking up after their dogs. Waste bags will be available, but please bring your own just in case.
6. No Snatching from Other Dogs – Encourage your pup to search for their own eggs; owners should intervene if needed to avoid conflicts.

Children Must Be Supervised – Kids are welcome but must be closely supervised around dogs they don’t know.

No Female Dogs in Heat – To prevent distractions and possible altercations, female dogs in heat should not attend.

Stay Hydrated & Have Fun! – Water stations will be available. Make sure to give your pup breaks and enjoy the event responsibly!
