All dogs go to Beacon Barks


The 2nd annual Animal Shelter Appreciation day — Beacon Barks — will be Saturday, April 26, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the City of Beacon.

It benefits the Dutchess County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The Beacon Barkery is one of the sponsors.

A parade of dogs and their owners will start the event, and there will also be a blessing of the animals, obedience demonstrations and pooches available for adoption.

The parade line up is at 11 a.m. in Peace Park at Bank Square. There will be trophies for best canine group, canine marcher and canine spirit.

If you didn't attend last year, it was a huge amount of fun. Dogs were welcomed in many shops and restaurants along Main Street during the event. Participants will be displaying "Beacon Barks! Welcome Here" signs.

For more information, call the DCSPCA at 845-454-5345, ext. 100 or the Beacon Barkery at 845-440-7652. You can also get info from the Web sites by clicking on the links above.
