All 4 the Animals Rescue is holding Dogtoberfest 2007 on Saturday, October 13, 2007 from 12:30 to 4pm at Alexandria City Hall's Market Square, 301 King Street.
This fundraising event will celebrate the rescue organization’s love of dogs and showcase Alexandria-based dog-oriented and dog-friendly businesses and organizations on Old Town Alexandria’s beautiful outdoor plaza.
We will have numerous loving dogs ready for their forever homes up for adoption! Activities scheduled for the day include:

· Silent Auction – Items include: stays at Alexandria hotels, hand-blown glass art, dog items from Jake’s of Old Town, cruises from the Potomac Riverboat Company, a dog gift basket from Olde Towne School for Dogs, and much more;
· Fun for the whole family with caramel apple dipping and pumpkin painting booths for the children and bobbing for tennis balls games for the dogs, and
· “Puppy Training 101” and “How to be the Alpha” training demonstrations from local dog trainers.
Other participants include: Barkley Square Dog Bakery and Boutique, Tails of Olde Towne canine massage, the Alexandria Chapter of the American Red Cross, Karing by Kristina, Dogtopia, I Believe in Dog and more.
All 4 the Animals Rescue is an all-volunteer group dedicated to rescuing, rehabbing and rehoming abandoned dogs. We do not discriminate in the dogs that we rescue. We also do not have a shelter/kennel facility but we foster our dogs in our own homes enabling us to learn about each one and their personalities.
