WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Sept. 2, 2020 - PRLog -- (West Palm Beach, FL – September 2, 2020)  Calling all pooches – and their human minders, too!

The special event will be held throughout the Garden, and regular admission applies: $10 (general); $5 (children 5-12), and free for members.

"This is the perfect opportunity for an entire family, dogs included, to visit the Garden, take a walk on the winding paths, meet other pooch pals and heel for photo opportunities," says Rochelle Wolberg, Curator-Director at Mounts. "We invite everyone to come out and be part of this tail-wagging good time."

Visitors should bring their own water and treats for the puppies. For more information, please visit www.mounts.org or call 561.233.1757.
