Wagging Tales Festival
May 3 @ 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Trussville Public Library’s new festival is coming to town! On Saturday, May 3rd, we’re inviting 3 local shelters and rescues to bring some of their best companions to the library to find a forever home. Outside the library, we’ll have adoptable dogs available for meeting and playing with! Inside the library, we’ll have a relaxing adoptable cat room! We’ll also be hosting free library programs throughout the day, a “Flea” Market with local vendors, food trucks, an author event with poet Charles Ghigna, and more!
What if I’m not able to adopt an animal?
That’s perfectly fine! This festival is all about supporting local animals and shelters/rescues, so we have so many more options for how you can help!
Bring pet supplies, food, or toys to donate*
Meet with animal facilities and contribute to their wishlists*
“Adopt” a plush dog to support real life animals*
Learn about animal care and local resources
Spread the word!
*All donations made will enter you for a chance to win a basket giveaway after the festival!
