Please plan to join us October 10th (a Saturday) for the 3rd Annual Family, Fur, & Fun Festival in Summerlin Center Community Park, 10am-4pm, 1800 S. Town Centre Drive, Las Vegas.

The event is organized and run by volunteers to ensure that the proceeds benefit the animals. For more information and sponsorships, please visit the Family, Fur, & Fun websi...
