On June 4 the Boothbay Railway Village will host its fourth annual day dedicated to dogs and their families.
Admission to Family Free Fur All, including steam train rides is free to everyone on two feet or four paws who brings a donation of dog food or a wish list item for area shelters or rescue groups.
Family Free Fur All is made possible through the support of Downeast Dog News and petMAINE along with The Coastal Dog, an open-concept doggy daycare and boarding service in Edgecomb, and Mr. Dog Training, award-winning positive reinforcement training located in Bath.
Dogs and puppies currently looking for their forever homes will be available to meet with potential families throughout the day. The rescues are also hosting fundraisers in their booths including raffles, silent auctions and bake sales.
There will be a few vendors offering pet-friendly products as well as Maine authors with books featuring furry friends.
