Columbus residents are invited to bring their dogs to a late celebration of Mardi Gras to benefit Columbus Animal Care Services.

City officials say “Mardi Growl” is an inaugural event co-sponsored by the newly formed Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services along with their partner agency, Columbus Animal Care Services. The event is described as a “festive dog parade.” It is set for Sunday, April 7th beginning at 1 p.m. at the Cummins parking lot at Eighth and Brown Streets.

The minimum cost of the Mardi Growl is $15 for a single dog registered by April 5th. All additional dogs are $10. Day of registration will be $20.
