The 20th annual fundraiser for the Dachshund Adoption Rescue and Education (D.A.R.E.) was at the beautiful Keels Farm in Polk City, Florida.
From a wide selection of vendors selling various wares and Courteous Canine running a mini lure course for all dogs there was plenty to see and do.
Hundreds attended this year’s event; many with their own pups. The excitement and crowds make this one “go to” event and returns the first Saturday in November 2027. See you there!
