Some of you may not know, ZiwiPeak not only has an office in New Zealand, but we also have another location in the beautiful Carmel, California. In addition to being one of California’s premier vacation destinations, Carmel consistently ranks as one of Dog Fancy’s top ten most dog-friendly cities in America (and maybe the world).
So it seems fitting that Carmel is the home of Poodle Day, an annual event in Carmel, that unites poodle owners and lovers – and their furry companions – for a fun-filled day. Proceeds from Poodle Day benefit NorCal Poodle Rescue, which has been a haven for poodles and poodle mixes in need in Northern California and South Oregon for 27 years. NorCal’s philosophy is to help poodles while also enriching the lives of the people who adopt them.
Poodle Day kicked off on Saturday 27th September and had an amazing 500 Poodles attend. The day started with the parade for poodles, poodle mixes and their human companions followed by other activities at The Crossroads. Afternoon events included off-leash beach play – organized by the Poodle Day team – a scenic stroll, a hike, or other dog-friendly activities around Carmel. Later in the evening, cocktail parties allow the dogs to lounge in style as their human companions gather for drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and conversation. We can’t wait for Poodle Day 2015!
