The Convention will be held at The Best Western Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, New Jersey 50 Park Place Newark, New Jersey, 07102-4398 (973) 622-1000 The Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists (aPaws), a 501(c) (6) nonprofit trade organization, has hosted this special event every year since its formation in 2002. The purpose is to provide continuing education specifically for professional animal waste specialist from around the country. Every pet professional is invited! aPaws is also about raising money to help provide pet air masks to fire departments and EMS Personnel free of charge. The cone-shaped plastic masks, which come in three sizes and fit snugly on snouts, can resuscitate animals suffering from smoke inhalation. For more information on the pet recovery masks, and how you can support the efforts to provide these masks, visit www.apaws.org. The weekend is more than round table discussions on, well, dog poop. They like to mix a little fun in their weekend with the annual Turd-Herding Contest And Name That Turd! It’s what every professional pooper scooper looks forward to each year. The Turd-Herding Contest is for professional pooper scoopers... a contest to find out who the fastest pooper scooper in the nation is. Sometime during the convention, dozens of fake dog poops are placed around the grounds of the hotel and they see who can pick up the most piles in two minutes. And they take this event seriously! In fact, due to some unfortunate circumstances in past contests, aPaws board members have had to modify the rules to include penalties for body checking the competition. The top three winners each receive a trophy and bragging rights... at least until next year! www.apaws.org https://www.facebook.com/ End
