The 53rd Annual Waterfowl Festival is upon us and Talbot Humane is teaming up with “The Festival” to make the event more enjoyable for dog owners and raise funds for the animals! We will be providing short term (2 hour maximum) dog watchers for attendees who want to enjoy the fine arts tents and other exhibits which do not permit pets. Currently we are looking for volunteers to step up and help! Groups welcome. Those volunteering directly with the animals must be able to walk, bend, lift, and be able to handle dogs of different breeds, sizes and strengths. We are also in need of volunteers to do the registration and payment portion of the event.

While our event is FREE to attend, all adoption policies are still in place for animals. Please visit our site to apply now. Once approved, applications are good for up to six months, so you’ll be ready to go the day of the event! You can apply HERE.

For same day adoptions please bring the following paperwork with you:

• A copy of your current lease with pet policy if you rent
• Up-to-date rabies vaccination records for all pets currently in the home
• Driver’s license or State Issued ID

We highly encourage you to pre-apply, as same day adoptions will be processed AFTER preapproved applications.

$1 Microchips will be available during the event!

All dogs must be on a leash and cats must be in a carrier. 

Our Pet Pantry will be open and available throughout the event. If you are in need of food for your animals, please let us know at the event and a staff member will assist you.

If you would like to help our Pet Pantry services, please bring a can or small bag of cat or dog food to donate! We couldn’t do what we do without our humane community.
