Dogs get their day at the Baltimore Humane Society's DogFest

Dogs can bowl, go through an agility course, play hide and seek and Musical Sit 'n Stay, swim, participate in a costume parade and more at the fifth annual DogFest at the Baltimore Humane Society in Reisterstown on Saturday, Oct 6.

But wait, there's more. Pets can compete for best costume, best trick and best kisser in various contests. Vets and trainers will be on hand to answer pet-owner questions and various vendors will have info booths. Bring some extra cash and have lunch -- plenty of food vendors will be at the event, too.

Worried cats are getting left out? Rescue groups will have felines ready for adoption and some vendors will have cat-specific merchandise, too.

The fun goes from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 1601 Nicodemus Road, Reisterstown. Rain or shine, they say, so plan to go even if it's raining cats and dogs.

$10 at the door. Buy tickets in advance at the Humane Society's site.
