Whiskers, Wags, & Shopping Bags is Food, Fun, and Fundraising with Fido to kick start Mother's Day weekend! We are kicking our Annual Block Party up a notch and taking over Mill Street. You can also visit the new Market on Mill in Utica! Restaurants, vendors, games, fundraising opportunities, demonstrations--even a pet parade!! The event runs from 11am-4pm!

Every year, our block party not only gets a slew of friendly dogs and their humans to hang out in one spot, but we get to raise money for local low cost/free spay/neuter and microchip programs at the same time! As of the end of 2024, No Animal Left Behind has raised over $70,000 for non-profits that provide these services--our Annual Block Party keeps that going.
