Don't miss National Dog Day 2008 on beautiful Solomons Island in Maryland! The Calvert Marine Museum has been chosen by the Animal Miracle Foundation, creator of National Dog Day, to host this popular, annual, FREE event that will feature myriad activities for dog-lovers including dog shows, vendors, entertainment, contests, demonstrations, children's activities, celebrities and most importantly, dog adoptions offered by numerous nonprofit rescue organizations. Honored at this event will be Maya, the Pit Bull, National Dog Day 2008's - Hero Dog of the Year and Luka, the National Dog Day 2008 Great American Shelter Dog - so don't let your dog miss it! 

National Dog Day is all about finding loving new families for the sea of unwanted dogs in the U.S. The lifesaving goal for this year's celebration is for 20,000 dogs to find new homes through the main event in Maryland and adoption events nationwide. Last year, nearly 15,000 dogs from coast to coast found forever homes in just one special day. Join the celebration and help save a life!


Located on acres of gorgeous waterfront property bordering the Chesapeake Bay on one side and the Patuxent River on the other, the Calvert Marine Museum is a public, non-profit, educational, regionally oriented museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, research, and interpretation of the culture of Southern Maryland. Explore the history and lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent River and celebrate your love of dogs.... all in one place...on one special day! Southern Maryland and the surrounding areas boast some of the country's largest populations of proud dog owners actively seeking to fulfill a wide range of product and service needs. Solomons Island, not only shines with an exciting array of family fun adventures, but is one of Southern Maryland's and Calvert County's most beautiful weekend getaways.
