All barks for fluffy paws and tummy rubs stealing the hearts of Saddleback campus

Students, faculty and visitors had the opportunity to bring their furry friends on campus, Thursday, April 27, for the 2017 Campus Dog Fair in the Quad. The business department organized, marketed and coordinated the entire event. They brought in vendors and volunteers from adoption centers to help raise money in donations for the five ‘no kill’ shelters present.

People and pups could earn all sorts of raffle and auction prizes, from toys and treats to Pilates passes and a $300 photo shoot at Jack Randall Photography. The prizes were donated by the companies themselves and were brought in by the Business Department.
