If you're in the Philadelphia area, and have no plans for this Saturday, July 10th, come to the Manayunk section of the city for the 4th Annual "PAWS in Manayunk"!
PAWS stands for Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, Philadelphia's only no-kill rescue. It's at Main and Levering Streets from noon to 5 p.m. and features adoptable dogs AND cats from various shelters and rescues in and around the city (not just from PAWS). There will be a pet parade led by Citizens for a No Kill Philadelphia, an agility demo by Opportunity Barks, a charity dog wash, and vendors selling pet-related items . . . including me, selling dog biscuits, training treats, and pupcakes! All human-grade ingredients, no preservatives. Does your dog have allergies to wheat, chicken, or corn? Not a problem. I have allergy-friendly options.
One of the treats I'll be offering at PAWS in Manayunk will be Banana Biscotti. If you aren't able to make it to the event, you can make them yourself at home! (And if your dog is anything like mine, he'll be glued to the oven until he gets a taste!)
