The NY Dog Film Festival™ is a philanthropic celebration of the love between dogs and their people, offering dog lovers a shared audience experience of canine-themed films from around the world that inspire, educate and entertain about the human-canine bond.
- Small dogs welcome on your lap -
(No room for big dogs - so sorry!)
2 PM "Second Chances" (71 minutes)
4 PM "Love Changes Everything" (65 minutes)
The 2 programs are completely different - and a medley of films celebrating the love between dogs and their people. To have the full Dog Film Festival experience you need to see both programs - which are appropriate for everyone in the family.
A portion of proceeds benefits Allen County SPCA.
