“Our Holiday Market presents dog lovers from near and far the unique opportunity to do their holiday shopping and enjoy a festive experience with their dogs,” says Events Coordinator, Helen Firing.

“Because we are a one hundred percent volunteer run organization, we rely heavily on events such as our Holiday Market to raise funds to support the care of our rescued dogs while they wait to find their forever homes. Our thanks to all the vendors who are joining us, and who have generously donated prizes for the event.”

“Our annual Holiday Market event truly makes the season the most wonderful time of the year for our rescue, for local businesses, for pet parents, and of course, for dogs looking for their forever homes,” says Jodi Lane, K9Crusaders’ founder, “With so many great things packed into this dog friendly event, it is definitely one to mark on your calendar!”
