The safety of all attendees is our top priority. Reach Rescue staff and event officials reserve the right to deny entry to or remove any dog displaying unsafe, disruptive, or aggressive behavior. If your dog becomes anxious, stressed, or reactive in crowded environments, we kindly ask that they sit this event out and support from home.
