Your favorite canine will be a top dog in Downtown Ferndale Thursday night at Fido Does Ferndale. Catering to dogs and their humans, Fido is an evening of pet-friendly shopping and strolling with special events and unique opportunities for you and your dog. The event runs from 5 - 9 pm. Any proceeds from the event will go into the doggie drinking fountain fund at Schiffer Park.

Details You Need to Know:

Hydrating Your Dog: Giant water bowls will be placed around town for your dog's relief. In addition, most businesses have water bowls in front of their stores and K9 Treasure Hunt businesses all have air conditioning, providing a respite while you and your pal go inside to get your FREE doggie treats.

Let your change go to the dogs and they'll be lapping happy at a drinking fountain built just for them.  Look for collection canisters all around town and feel free to drop in a dime or two. Your small change could mean a big change for the wetter for Downtown Ferndale's canine friends.
