The Canine Couture Show returns this summer after a “paws” with a new style, but the same fun! Join us and our community partner The Potter League for Animals for a dog fashion show inspired by Doris Duke at “Ruff” Point. We will have a photo booth for your pup to pose and treats for all. There will be pet-related vendors onsite to peruse and shop. NRF founder Doris Duke was a supporter of animal well-being and she lived with dogs, cats, and camels(!) at her homes. Many of her pets were adopted from the Potter League for Animals.
