Dogs like Rocky will be looking for their forever home.

The annual Huntsville Obedience Training Club Dog Fair will be held at Monte Sano State Park on Saturday, September 12, 2009.  The fair begins at 9 am and is concluded at 3 pm. 

Monte Sano State Park is on a mountain 1600 ft above sea level.  There are cabins, camping, walking trails, and the Von Braun Astronomical Society's Planetarium.  Since the dog fair is being held at a state park, there is a nominal park entry fee of $3 per person.  Directions to the park are:

From I-565, exit 17b Governors Dr.  Follow to the top of the mountain and turn left onto Monte Sano Blvd.  Continue 2.5 miles.  Turn right on Nolen Ave.  Continue 1 mile to the park.

During the dog fair, there will be a microchip clinic to have dogs microchipped for $25 each.  Microchips are wonderful tools to identify a lost dog who has lost his collar.  They are very small bits of technology that contain a numbered identification linked to a registered owner.

There will also be public participation in agility and rally along with freestyle demonstrations.  Adoptable pets from various rescues will be available for adoption.

Come out for a fun day with the dogs.  Stay overnight at Monte Sano State Park and enjoy the beautiful vistas.
