Then we have Tier 3 – the level to really show off your dog’s talent – the sky is the limit on what they can do, this tier is reserved for those who are capable of high-level tricks. The Top Dog in each tier will receive a prize. Sign up is at the Nampa Civic Center booth at the event before 1:00PM.

Don’t forget to bring a brand-new dog toy or two for pups in need. We give all new dog toys received plus ten percent of our revenue to Lake Lowell Animal Rescue (LLAR). LLAR is a small nonprofit organization located in Nampa, Idaho. LLAR was founded in 2017 as a response to the massive animal abandonment issue at Lake Lowell and surrounding areas. Tragically, hundreds of cats, rabbits, dogs, chickens, ducks and other pets are abandoned here each year. LLAR is committed to rescuing and rehabilitating as many of these animals as possible, providing much needed medical care, and then placing them in new forever homes. Lake Lowell Animal Rescue relies on community support to not only be able to provide the sometimes-extensive care these animals need, but also to help find these wonderful pets new forever homes. If you are interested in adopting a new companion please visit their website at lakelowellanimalrescue.org or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
