Today is National Pet Day and many wonderful organizations around the city are celebrating. Here's one on the west side you can check out this afternoon! National Pet Day has been around since 2006, and it's a holiday to bring awareness to adoptable animals in your area and to educate people on why they should adopt not shop!

One great event happening tonight to celebrate National Pet Day is a happy hour event at Fools Gold. The pet-friendly happy hour to enjoy socializing your pups with other friendly dogs and check out some great vendors at the event. Homemade dog treats will be available for purchase from Pets Barn, you can get your pets microchipped by PTO Mobile Microchipping, learn more about services from Canine Domain! Canine Domain offers doggy field trips, 1 on 1 training, opportunities to socialize your pooch and more! Fools Gold will also be having 1/2 priced drinks and tacos for the humans to enjoy!
