Description

Annual Dog Day of August: dog & kid friendly morning of fun and games for dogs and their people in memory of Sharon Smith. Our Annual Dog Day of August in Colonial Beach is held each year as a memorial to Sharon Smith, who founded the event in 2011. This laid-back, kid-friendly, fun filled morning for dogs and their people benefits the Colonial Beach Humane Society and Colonial Beach Rivah Dogs. The Humane Society runs the Feral Cat TNR and Colony Program. Rivah Dogs runs the Pet Waste Station, Dog Park, and Dog Safety Programs. Join us for fun, amateur games including tricks, stay & recall, mini-agility, find the bone, frisbee or tennis ball retrieval, water retrieval, and our famous pet parade with multiple awards including biggest, smallest, oldest, youngest, best 6 legs (polite leash walking), best costume, and more! This is the largest and longest running dog event in the Colonial Beach Area. All dog-friendly and people-friendly dogs, and their people, are welcome. Spectators are welcome, too! CB Rivah Dogs is a local 501(c)3 charity. We are a community of dog lovers dedicated to making Colonial Beach more dog friendly and dog safe. Our Annual Events include Dog Day of August, Bark on the Beach, and K9 Easter Egg Hunt. We are all unpaid volunteers who host fundraising events to support our mission. All our events are dog and family friendly. Our projects include the CB Pet Waste Station Project, the Robin Grove Dog Park Project, and the CB Humane Society's TNR Project.
