This year a porti on of the proceeds will go towards our Meals-on-Wheels-for-Pets program. As we have seen an increase in the number of local dogs turned in due to their owners’ fi nancial hardship, we want to help prevent a pet from losing their loving home by providing free meals to pets. The Meals-on-Wheels-for-Pets program will benefi t both pets and their owners, parti cularly seniors who are on a fi xed income as well as pet owners who are suff ering from job loss. For more informati on on MEALS ON WHEELS FOR PETS, SEE INFORMATION BOOTH.

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” ~ Josh Billings
Save A Dog is a 501c3 tax exempt Humane Society whose mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find adoptable homes for abandoned dogs. We are a holistically-minded organization that believes in providing the highest quality care to our rescued dogs. We give the dogs vitamins, herbal supplements, and probiotics from day one as our shelter protocol. Each night the new arrivals are serenaded to animal healing music while enjoying a fresh meaty bone on their kuranda beds. We have a very strong foster home program so that the dogs are transitioned into the home environment as soon as possible. We educate our adopters on holistic care for their new dog and our Retail room carries pet food and all the holistic supplements at a very low cost to our adopters and supporters. Please come visit us during our open hours. Save A Dog was incorporated in 1999 and is funded entirely by private donations.
Please keep the historical grounds of the Wayside Inn litter free. For your convenience, doggy clean-up bags are inside your goodie bag, as well as available at all our Booths.
During the Revoluti onary war when Briti sh General Howe’s dog accidentally crossed American lines, General George Washington wrote a lett er to his Briti sh counterpart and returned the dog to him.
No wonder we elected him the fi rst President! In the midst of the Revoluti on he took the ti me to save a dog!
Save A Dog is a 501c3 non-profi t organizati on. Additi onal pledges and tax deducti ble donati ons should be mailed to:
