Verizon Wireless Music Center is Going to the Dogs!
Grab your leashes, oil your strollers and get your dancin’ shoes on! Woofstock is a fun-filled event for the whole family – including Fido! Presented by VCA Animal Hospitals, Woofstock 2010 takes place at Verizon Wireless Music Center (12880 E. 146th St in Noblesville) on June 12, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (rain date: June 13).

Chris Denari, the voice of the Indiana Pacers, and his dog, Bailey, will be emceeing the event.
Woofstock is an annual fundraiser developed to bring in the funds needed to care for the nearly 4,000 pets that are surrendered or come in as strays to the Humane Society for Hamilton County.

Love on a Leash, Foundation for Pet Provided will be there. Our booth will feature handmade treat jars, breed specific greeting cards and more. We will also have a 25 cent treat machine. This is all for our fundraising efforts.
If you would like to learn more about pet therapy or maybe have a dog that you think could be a therapy dog stop by and talk to us and we can guide you through the process and give you some materials to look over.
Come meet some of our therapy dogs. They will be at our tent strutting their stuff.
Look forward to meeting everyone.
Sharen, Chapter President & owner of Holly-Pup!
