The dog days of summer are upon us and we have just the solution! Zilker Botanical Garden welcomes you to join us for a fun-filled weekend for our furry friends.

Located in the shaded Oak Grove, there will be pup pools, local dog-centric vendors, and even pups up for adoption. Guests can also train to become a Bark Ranger! These long summer days are too hot to handle so this event will be held 9 am-12 pm for the safety of pups and humans. All friendly dogs are welcome on leash.

Bring your pups by the Pretty Cute Coffee truck for a discount on an ice-cold coffee or lemonade!

Join in the Auditorium at 10:30am and train to become a Bark Ranger with the City of Austin Park Rangers on both Saturday and Sunday!

Foster pups will be available for adoption by Austin Pets Alive and the Austin Animal Center each morning.

Refillable dog bowls and water stations will be available throughout the Garden to keep everyone hydrated. In an effort to help keep the Garden clean, please remember to pick up after your pup.

Included with admission, free for members & free for pups. Zilker Botanical Garden is dog-friendly year-round.

Participating vendors: Tomlinson’s, Taurus Academy, Austin Pet’s Alive!, Austin Animal Center, Healthy Pet TX, & Bark Rangers
