The event exemplifies OCR's ongoing commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Palm Beach County residents through collaborative partnerships and tailored initiatives.

The event will begin with a AKC Fit Dog Walk, a fitness walk designed to promote physical health and insights into canine bonding and training.  The event will transition into a Pet Therapy Presentation to learn about the benefits of pet therapy and witness live demonstrations of canine bonding and training. Engaging, interactive activities will be provided for all ages featuring music, food, and games.
