Puppy Palooza is returning to Eastern Shore Centre for its second year, offering a day of pet-friendly activities, vendors and entertainment while raising support for the Baldwin Humane Society.

The free community event will take place Saturday, May 2 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on The Green near California Dreaming. Organizers say the event has quickly become a local favorite for dog owners and families alike.

“We’re thrilled to bring this wholesome event back to Eastern Shore Centre,” said Sidney Carol Barnhardt, marketing associate at Crawford Square Real Estate Advisors. “Puppy Palooza will offer fun and entertainment for both pets and their owners, and we look forward to welcoming the community out to support our friends at the Baldwin Humane Society!”

Activities will include an Ulti-Mutt Pet Marketplace, on-site pet adoptions through BHS, retailer and pop-up vendors, puppy splash zones, kids’ activities and live music. The Eastern Shore Centre tent will also feature pet-friendly swag items along with a giveaway for attendees.

Baldwin Humane Society will be on-site with adoptable animals as the nonprofit continues its mission of animal rescue, shelter and adoption services across Baldwin County.

The event is free and open to the public, though donations to BHS are encouraged.

Eastern Shore Centre is currently accepting vendor applications and sponsorship opportunities for businesses and organizations interested in participating in the event.
