Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. is encouraging St. Joseph Mustangs fans to bring their dogs to the 2015 “Bark in the Park” event at Phil Welch Stadium on Friday, June 26.
The night will allow Mustangs’ fans and their canine friends to take part in an evening of “dog-friendly” activities as the Mustangs take on the Clarinda A’s.
The game starts at 7:00 p.m. with gates opening at 6:30 p.m. for a pet parade – prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third place winners. The first 500 people who arrive at the game will receive a special gift from BIVI.
“As a company comprised of animal lovers, supporting the “Bark in the Park” brings the community and their four legged-family members together for an evening of baseball,” says Dr. Bernd Eichenmueller, vice president of operations at BIVI. “We believe in supporting activities that encourage and promote the strong connection between people and their pets.”
The Friends of the St. Joseph Animal Shelter will hold a ‘pet preview’ during the event from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Ticket-holders interested in adopting a pet, can meet some of the pets available for adoption at the St. Joseph Animal Shelter.
