Bob Gatt from Oakland County Animal Control said this is the first time his division has been involved with the annual festival. The division has 100 dogs and 150 cats and several dogs available for adoption will be present at the festival.

"We have 100 dogs and 150 cats sitting in cages waiting for permanent, loving homes," Gatt said. 

Dog adoptions are $136.50 and cat adoptions are $50.50. and all pets come up-to-date on shots and vet checkups and are spayed or neutered, Gatt said.
