Freeport, Bahamas - Let's celebrate dogs!  Get your dogs ready to strut their stuff at the Humane Society of Grand Bahama's annual dog show this Saturday, March 5th starting at 10 a.m.!

Don't have a dog? Come in and choose ​one of our many beautiful​
shelter dog​s​ to show off for the day! Or just come out and enjoy the big variety of beautiful dogs, from tiny to giant, from purebred to mixed breed to our amazing Royal Bahamian Potcakes.  We welcome back guest judge, Kim Aranha, President of the Bahamas Humane Society in Nassau.  ​

The Flea Market tent will have some great bargains as always, and you can quench your thirst and get something tasty to eat at the grill or the bake sale. ​We welcome everyone to tour our shelter, and Giggles, Inc. will be doing face painting for the kids from 11 - 3.

We will have a raffle with some great prizes including two round trip Sky Bahamas tickets and a weekend at Old Bahama Bay.  We will also be doing micro chipping of dogs on the day for a special rate of only $40.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for kids over two. Entering your dog is $10 per group/category entered.  Please join us!  Every penny goes to help the hundreds of homeless animals that enter our shelter every year.  They will appreciate your support!

Big thanks to our sponsors:  Purina, BahamasIslandsInfo.com, Barefoot Marketing, Furniture Plus, Garden of the Groves, GB Nature Tours & Junkanoo Beach Club; BWA, City Services, Rotary Club of Freeport, Guardian Fencing, Pinetree Stables, Bahamian Brewery, Freeport Ship Services and Sunny Isles.
