ARTESIA — Paws & Claws, in coordination with the City of Artesia, will hold a Fetch with a Friend animal adoption event Friday at Jaycee Park.

Come watch as Artesia Animal Shelter dogs become the first to test out the equipment at the new Big Dawg Park at Jaycee Park, located just east of the original dog park. The event will run from 8:30-10:30 a.m. Friday, June 28.

Food and drink vendors will be on hand, and attendees will have the opportunity to have their photo taken with Norbert the Great Dane. Best of all, if any of the playful pups catch your eye, you’ll be able to take them back to their new forever home.

For more information, contact the animal shelter at 575746-8860 or City Hall at 575746-2122.
