This could be the beginning of a very special love story.

Would-be pet owners across Cork are invited to an Adoptathon at The Bark Park in Blackpool this weekend.

Anyone can drop by on Sunday, May 26th between 11am and 1.30pm to meet the Dog Action Welfare crew, their fosterers and some of the dogs patiently waiting for forever homes.

It’s a brilliant, no-pressure way to find out all you need to know about adopting a dog… and you might even meet the canine companion of your dreams while you’re there.

If nothing else, you can dish out a few belly rubs to eager doggos.

If you’re popping in to support, DAWG are also collecting donations of dog collars, leads, bedding and dog food so if you have items your dog is no longer using, simply drop them off at the event on the day.
