OTN News & Upcoming Events
Thanks to all who came out to Bark in the Park, the Kickoff for Dogtoberfest, the Old Town North Community Partnership’s Celebration of all things Dog …and Cat. Throughout the month of October, we will be highlighting the work of local organizations that support animals in need.
One of these organizations is the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. I hope all our dog lovers had a chance to enjoy Paws in the Park on Sunday, October 13th.
Our friend Laura is donating sample packs to folks who adopt a pup during Dogtoberfest.
