Lightning the Border Collie mix

Nailey the Shepherd mix

Lexa the Yellow Lab mix and Strider the Beagle mix have a great time playing with each other!

Treat the Flat-Coated Retriever/Border Collie mix

Here are some of the non-FOHA furry friends who attended Barktoberfest:

A cute-as-a-button French Bulldog puppy spent most of the time being carried like a little princess!

A couple of Norwegian Elkhounds

A senior Keeshond who is blind and deaf attended in style!

A pair of gorgeous Shiloh Shepherds had a great time at Barktoberfest

This Leonberger is truly a gentle giant

Hey, are you a German Shepherd, or a Retriever???

A cute little Shih Tzu poses for the camera

A couple Dachshunds don't mind hanging out with the larger dogs

Here is a handsome Great Dane who was adopted from a rescue group

An Australian Shepherd watches the activities

Beneath all of that fur is the bravest rabbit that ever lived! Osito the bunny (aka the Ewok) had many people wondering if he was the strangest looking Pomeranian at the event! :)
