Animal Shelter Partners will be having its annual Barktoberfest Saturday, October 8, from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Sunday, October 9, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., at the North Bend Community Center on Broadway.

Barktoberfest is a family and pet friendly craft and community fair that includes local venders, food, raffles and a pet parade. Bring your pet and be part of our parade. Costumes are encouraged, but not required. The shelter will have some cats available for adoption both Saturday and Sunday. There may be some dogs there on Sunday, depending on who is available that week.

ASP is the shelter's 501c3 non-profit partner. They help to bridge the gap between the county budget and the needs of the shelter and the animals they care for. They help with a variety of things - from cardboard cat "go-home" boxes and special dietary or medical needs to building and ground improvements that benefit the animals, workers and volunteers, ASP is there to lend a helping hand.
