Good dogs have a good time at fundraiser

SALISBURY — Tails were wagging at the Good Dog Foundation Pooch Party on Saturday, May 21, hosted by Sand Road Animal Hospital and Noble Horizons. Seventy-six canines attended the fundraiser for the Good Dog Foundation. They were joined by 100 or so humans.Some of the day’s activities included a dog walk, a microchip clinic, raffles, doggy yoga, decorating dog biscuits and musical hula hoops.Dr. David Sandefer, assisted by Sara Bishop from Sand Road Animal Hospital, gave the first 50 dogs who registered free microchip ID tags.The day ended with a dog fashion show, judged by interior designer Bunny Williams of Falls Village and fashion designer and author Carolyne Roehm of Sharon. Sonny, a husky/lab mix who had lost a leg from cancer, was a crowd favorite, not just for his spunky spirit but also for his T-shirt, which said, “Tri-pods rule” (which, incidentally, helped him win second place in the fashion show).The Good Dog Foundation helps prepare dogs to be friendly visitors to hospitals and retirement centers such as Noble. Any pet owners who would like to sign up their dogs can take the next round of dog obedience classes (with Susan Fireman, Good Dog’s executive trainer) at Noble Horizons. Sessions begin on June 16 and will run to July 14. For more information or to register for classes, contact Fireman at solanina@aol.com or 518-398-5249.
