Join us as we celebrate the four-legged friends in our life with the Second Annual Happy Tails Pet Adoption Fair & Marketplace this Sunday, April 24 from 12-4pm. The event will benefit Hawai’i Animal Kuleana Alliance, Aloha ‘Ilio Rescue, and the Hawai’i Island Pre-Vet Club.

Event details:

  • Pet adoptions: Aloha ‘Ilio Rescue and Hawai‘i Animal Kuleana Alliance will be on-site with dogs available for adoption. Anyone adopting a pet during the event will be entered into a special prize drawing.
  • Marketplace: Organizations will have pet-themed items available for sale to support their hard work in the community.
  • Microchipping: Microchips will be available on a first come, first served basis starting at 1pm. A sign up sheet will be available starting at 12pm. In addition, HAKA will be scanning microchips to allow pet parents to verify their contact information and make changes on-site if needed.
  • Puppy pie eating contest: At 1pm, Hawai‘i Island’s hungriest pooches will face off in a pie (whipped cream) eating contest with prizes for the winner and their human! Sign ups will be available at the event from 12-12:45pm.
  • Pet food drive: Hawai‘i Animal Kuleana Alliance will be collecting cat and dog food to distribute to community members in need. Anyone donating during the event will be entered into a special prize drawing.
  • PRIZES: There will be a variety of ways that participants can win: hourly prize drawings (must be present to win); those making monetary and/or pet food donations will be entered into another prize drawing; those adopting at the event will be entered into a special prize drawing; and those who spend $25 or more at any Coconut Grove retailer (and show their receipt) will be entered into a drawing to win $300 in CG gift cards – stop by the HAKA table for more information.
  • Contest announcement: Gecko Girlz Shave Ice will also be announcing the winner of their National Pet Day photo contest – visit the Gecko Girlz Instagram page to find out how to enter!
  • Free puppuccinos: These tempting treats for pooches are created with Gecko Girlz’ house-made whipped cream, and of course lots of love. No dog can resist! 

Of course, there will be plenty of great treats for humans, too! The Gecko Girlz Shave Ice monthly special for April is the Mac Nut Crunch Salted Caramel Sundae and during the event guests can buy one and get 25% off of the second (either size).
