Dog Days of Kenmore
Exciting Mini Dog Day Events Starting SUmmer 2022
The KVIS won't be having our big one day Dag Days of Kenmore event this year but we will be holding it next year. This year we are planning weekly mini Dog Days events at our new office and shop located in Kenmore. You'll be able to come meet dogs (and some cats and other furry friends too) and maybe even adopt one. You'll also have the chance to meet exciting and interesting dog vendors and more! Check back here soon for more details. (...de tails!) -Warmest wags to you and yours.

Our modern American definition of family isn’t as narrowly defined as it was in the past and it is common for dogs and cats and other household friends to be considered a part of the family. One of the messages the KVIS strives to continually communicate is that Kenmore is a family friendly place and we plan events that help support this message like the Children’s Concert Series and the Dog Days of Kenmore.
The Dog Days of Kenmore event has grown significantly each year and now includes over 100 vendors, most area rescue groups, and features contests, live music, food trucks, parades, and much more. Each dog rescue group attending the Dog Days of Kenmore is entered to win one of seven one hundred dollar gifts to help support their work. The KVIS is proud that we can throw this annual party for dogs and their people and hope that in doing so we will a deeper understanding of the plight of dogs while strengthening the special and heart warming bonds that exist between us all and man’s best friend.

The Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness
Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors. Consequently, the weight of evidence indicates that humans are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness. Non-human animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, also possess these neurological substrates.

Friends
This is one our favorite photos from Dog Days of Kenmore. Our guest of honor that year was a small dog named Phoenix who had been burned so terribly by a cruel individual. Phoenix had finished having his photo taken with folks who had come to see him while Tank the Town of Tonawanda Canine Officer was taking some shady rest from his demonstrations. Phoenix walked over to Tank who looked at him as if to say "Hey Buddy" then Phoenix sat down next to him as if they had been friends forever. They had never met before. ...How blessed we are to have these canine friends in our lives and how fortunate we are to be able to advocate for them.
