When you arrive\, you’ll meet at the pavilion to check in with a Connect Marquette Board Member. They will direct you from there to your designated photo location. You’ll need to walk a short distance as we’ve separated each location will be separate so dogs aren’t distracted by each other. \nWe only have 21 time slots open\, so make sure to register before they fill up! Registration will end at 9pm on September 27th so we can plan accordingly. \nDonations for this event will go to the Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Center! \nImportant Puppy Photo Paw-ty Details:\n\nDonating to a Local Cause\n\nDonations will be given to Marquette County’s Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Center\nDonations are $10 per time slot\n\n\nArrive Early\n\nPlease arrive at least 20 minutes before your time slot – there will be a designated waiting area and you’ll need time to walk over to your photo location\n\n\nMultiple Dogs?\n\nYou’ll need to sign up for multiple time slots unless you plan to have them all in the photo together – no group and solo photos\nIf you want solo photos of more than one dog\, you’ll need to register for a second time slot – which does mean paying the donation fee more than once\nWe’ll be limiting group photos to 3 dogs to make sure they’re easy enough to manage and fit into the frame well\n\n\nBe Responsible\n\nYou will be responsible for bringing treats\, giving your dog commands\, and picking up after them – if you allow your dog off leash\, it is up to you to ensure they have good recall\n\n\nReactive or Unfriendly Dogs\n\nIf you have a reactive dog or a dog that does not like other dogs\, we do not recommend bringing them to this event\, you will be in a waiting area with at least a few other pet owners at one time.\n\n\nTurn Around Time\n\nThe keepers for each pet will be emailed directly to you through Google Drive folders within 2 weeks of the event.
