Are you already begging for more?
At the conclusion of the Dogsigner showcase on April 30, our Barkitects will retreat for a summer of catstruction on their muttsterpieces. In September, Barkitecture will come out of the kennel as these chic shelters move to their Dogtown addresses, graciously provided by our Dogtown Civic Association members.
The Barkitecture homes will be on display through January, when they be returned to the kennel to be readied for charity auction. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Humane Society of Marion County.
