BARKtoberfest 2005 …an event where BARKing is music to our ears!

(Gilbert, AZ) Share your day with the likes of super heroes, kings, bikers, clowns, and jokers at Friends for Life Animal Sanctuary’s 7th annual BARKtoberfest.

This event is a celebration of our friendship with our loyal canine companions.
Funds raised from BARKtoberfest 2005 will contribute to the care and housing of homeless cats and dogs.

Friends for Life Animal Sanctuary hopes to raise at least $7,500.00 at BARKtoberfest 2005 – half of one month’s expenses to care for the homeless animals.

Dogs of all shapes and sizes are invited to participate, with their humans, in games, costume and talent contests. Dirty dogs can clean up their act at the dog wash; artistic dogs can express themselves at the DOGvinci painting booth. Vendors, dog adoptions, entertainment, raffles, food, and fun complete the day. There is no general admission fee however some activities may require a donation to participate.
