By Sherry Miller….
The very popular “Pet Fests” at Cauley Square Historic Railroad Village in South Miami-Dade County will host its next event on Sunday, May 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Open to the public with free entry and free parking, all pets must be on leashes or caged, as applicable, with current vaccinations. Exotic birds are welcome. No aggressive pets are permitted.

Adding to the exciting family Sunday afternoon “Pet Fest” will be the “Pet Pageant,” officiated by the honorary inaugural sponsor, Redland Animal Hospital. The judging panel will be headed by Dr. Maureen Bushnell, DVM.

Prizes will be awarded to winners in several unique categories of competition that include: Best Dressed, Smallest, Largest, Furriest and Most Beautiful. Registration for the “Pet Pageant” will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the Redland Animal Hospital sponsors booth on Cauley Square’s Main Street adjacent to the Main Patio where the contest will take place.

K-9 Specialist In-Home Professional Dog Training founder and president Dennis Urrutia will conduct a special person-to-person training session with his staff, experts in the field of animal behavior. Pet owners will learn how to solve problems ranging from housebreaking to leash walking to personal commands.

Honorary inaugural sponsor PETCO will be giving away free pet toys, supplies and special coupons at its booth located at the entrance to the main patio.

Pet rescue organizations will be present for adoptions of beautiful pets who need good homes and include: Marrvelous Pet Rescues, Paws 4 You Rescue, United Wag, Born Free, and others.
