T
he dogs were let out on October 30, at Barktoberfest, where attendees and their
pets were dressed in their Halloween best and enjoyed a canine-only trick-
or-treating event. Dog Harmony presented the 3rd annual canine trick-or-
treating social and fundraising event, which took place at Grand Park in Grand
Boulevard at Sandestin.
Guests enjoyed light bites courtesy of JC’s Gourmet. Dog-friendly partners such as
Vineyard Vines, Santa Rosa Animal Hospital, The Orvis Company, K9 Rescue Rations II
30A Barks, and Residence Inn by Marriott Sandestin at Grand Boulevard provided dog and
human treats for all who attended.
Dog-Harmony is a nonprofi t, volunteer-run organization in Santa Rosa Beach whose
mission is to reduce the number of unwanted dogs at shelters through education, training,
low-cost spay/neuter and microchipping. What makes Dog-Harmony different is that
the focus is on training and support before, during and after the dog’s adoption, therefore
building healthy, lifelong relationships between them and their humans.
