CALLING ALL PARENTS AND PAWS,

OLD WORLD VILLAGE IS GOING TO THE DOGS

FOR THIS PAWTASTIC SPRING FLING PAW PAWTY

AND EASTER EGG HUNT.

Thanks to DOGTV for Sponsoring and Presenting this event, it's going to be tons of fun for everyone and Admission is FREE!. There will be a very special DOGTV Presentation and Screening. We've got an Agility Course for everyone to utilize with their Paws thanks to Intelligent Agility. The Paws will have one of the biggest Easter Egg Hunts ever with 100's of dog treat filled eggs hidden around the Old World Village for you and them to sniff out and find. Pet Vendors, Adoptable Dogs, Great Raffles, BBQ and Old World's Beer Garden will all be available too!

The Amazing Raffle Prize that everyone will get an opportunity to win who attends is a 2 Night Stay at DogSpa Resort and Wellness Center. This resort is like no other dog-friendly resort here in SoCal as your Paws are completely off-leash the entire time and can even go swimming in the pool. That's a $350.00 value.

Just in time for the baseball season to start, another fantastic raffle prize thanks to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, a Pair of Tickets to an upcoming Angels Game. Thank you Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

You can also purchase more tickets at the event to increase your chances of winning the terrific prizes and benefit the rescues in attendance.

It gets even better, as there will be a Golden and a Silver Egg hidden as well, and the lucky Paw who finds these eggs will get some terrific prizes donated by the vendors in attendance. Can your Paw find the Golden and Silver Egg?

So grab your Family, Friends and Paws and come on out and enjoy the charm of Old World Village, all the Fun of this Spring Fling and please be sure to thank DOGTV for providing this amazing event for all the Parents and Paws to enjoy.

We'll See You There and Your Paws Will Thank You for It!

*This is an On-Leash Event and All Friendly Paws are Invited and Encouraged to attend. Water and Poop Bags will be provided.

I think my expectations were to high for this event. Having never been to Old World Village, either, I don't think I knew it was going to be squashed in a little portion. Got there about 1pm. Bought raffle tickets and was told the raffle would take place at 2:15pm. It was so crowded my mom and I ate at a nearby German restaurant (where I could also get some vegetarian food). As we were sitting there we heard, around 1:30pm, raffle tickets being read. Myself and some other doggy parents who wanted to get away from the crowd were very upset by this. I know the moneys for a good cause, but that was very rude. If you're going to read raffle tickets off for the whole event, don't say there's going to be a time when it's happening. As for the Easter egg treat hunt, I agree, people were greedy. A guy grabbed a silver egg right out from under me and was digging around in the bushes like an idiot. I know you meant well, but I was very saddened by it. Too crowded. Makes me think twice.

  I agree about the Easter egg hunt. There should have been limits as to how many eggs each dog got or something.

  Jessica, the same thing happened to us our our dog when Nana found the golden egg. Our dog was sniffing the egg out and my boyfriend yelled out to me to come and take a picture and said out loud that Nana found the golden egg.... I'm pregnant so I was a little behind them walking up. Another lady, who's dog was in another bush just reached down and grabbed the egg from under our dogs nose. I was confused when I walked up and my boyfriend was telling that lady that the event was for our dogs not for humans. She just pocketed the egg like her dog found it. That spoiled the whole egghunt event for us, though we had fun with our friends and their dogs too.

  I saw the golden egg first and was going toward it when your boyfriend saw it too... but.. if you want the photo session, I can send it to you.

  Ya, that is what happened to use but with a regular egg, we had seen our first egg as was going toward it ( but did not announce that we seen it) and some one said after we were already going towards it, hey we found an egg and I just reached down and picked it up right after they said it. So don't feel bad that you did not announce it before you picked it up. It is all in fun for the dogs and that was very kind of you to offer your prize to the other lady. That show what a great character you have!

  What a great and fun day we had with our dogs. Thank you for all the work you and your husband do for dogs that need homes and for fun events to take are dogs to. Thank you Stephen & Brandi!

  Ingrid, this being a dog egghunt, we felt it was up to our dogs to sniff out the eggs and collect what they found. We got two eggs and my boyfriend saw the egg but allowed our dog to walk over and sniff it out. When she found it, he called out to me so I can take a pic of that and said outloud "she found the egg honey". I was walking over there and that's when I saw you bend down and take the egg and i looked over at your dog in the bushes off to the left side. We were under the understanding this was an e vent for our dogs to find what they could. If you feel you deserve that egg, by all means feel free to keep the certificate. I'm not going to be upset that we believed we were following rules and played the

  Game with our dog as a dog event. for the record between my friends and their dogs that came, the most each eggs we got were 2 and 3 egg per dog and a couple dogs got none.

  my two would never have found any eggs on ther own, so I thought it was OK for me to look. The certificate is on it's way to you.

Stephen & Brandi: You sent me an email re: my inquiry about making a fenced in piece of land here into a dog park, but my computer sent it to 'I don't know where it is' land.
Could you contact me again so I can tell you what I had in mind?

Thanks so much to all the Paws that came out to join us this weekend at the DOGTV k-9 Spring Fling & Easter Egg Hunt and to Stephen, Brandi and Leo from DPOC that helped us put all this together. Our vendor partners were great, we were able to find 4 rescue dogs homes and Intelligent Agility had a great time with all the dogs! I have posted more photos on our DOGTV Facebook site at:

I hope you will follow us on Facebook and learn more about DOGTV, see all our great friends from all over the world and attend future DOGTV events.

Happy Spring everyone!

I saw the Easter Egg Hunt on Dogtv Facebook, so I came out. I have to say I never knew there were so many dog owners around who are as active with their dogs like me and this club exists. It was a great time. I wanted to thank dogtv for doing this. I found two eggs and I met some really nice people and their dogs. Must have been expensive to rent the festival hall and beer garden. Can't believe that it was free. My uncle had a birthday party there and I know how much that party cost his wife. So thanks! I can't wait for more fun stuff to do. Thanks again and we'll see you at something else soon I hope. Jake from Dogtv, he was so cute in his outfit. Woof! Woof!

  Veronica, glad you had a good time. There are lots of events in the Dog Club each year. Yes, DOGTV was amazing for putting this event together. It was incredible of them for doing this.

I forgot to mention....Intelligent Agility rocks!!! The instructors are awesome!!!

3 · March 24
Brenda

Sad that people have to argue about all this....it was supposed to be fun for the dogs! I do have a suggestion. Rather than have a gold & silver egg, why not hide the prizes in normal colored eggs, so that no one will know which egg it is in. It was fun, a lot of work went into the planning of it. We didn't win anything, and that is OK. We had a few hours out with our dog & got to see friends & meet new people & dogs. Isn't THAT what it should be about?

4 · March 24
Rayanne

It is such a shame when people don't treat other people with the respect that they deserve, unless their actions or words prove otherwise. And we as humans are teaching dogs how to behave?

Well, all I know is that I had a great time, even though I couldn't find the "registration" area where the organizers were supposed to be. I would like to continue our conversation about a possible site I've scoped out for a dog park in Orange. COULD YOU PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ABOUT THAT? Thanks.

Stephen & Brandi Terry

We apologize if you didn't find an Easter Egg. Brandi, Leo, A.J. and I worked really hard to get the 800 Easter Eggs out there in the Village. Unfortunately some people took perhaps more than their fair share. Next time we'll have twice as many eggs at the event.

  Thanks Stephen and Brandi for a great event. We brought out friends and their paws and participated in the egg hunt and agility course. Unfortunately, I have to agree, there were a lot of greedy people with the eggs and the event was for the dogs.

  My boyfriend was so upset because our dog had her nose ON the golden egg and I am pregnant following behind and was walking up to take pictures and some other lady who's dog was in another bush, not even near the group of eggs, heard my boyfriend say our dog found the egg, and she reached down and grabbed the egg right under Nana's nose. I was confused when I walked up. This was upsetting to us and our friends who did see many eggs out there but we only took one out of each pile and let our dog find the eggs. We walked by another pile of eggs but if our dog didn't see it, we didn't take out of that pile. My boyfriend did tell the lady that grabbed the egg that the event is for dogs and not for humans but it's a shame people don't care. We wanted to report the issue but there really does need to be rules placed out so this does not spoil the fun for people/dogs who are in it for good sportsmanship and above all, for our dogs.

was fun, but the egg hunt was no so great, they had eggs in groups so not everyone got treats for their dogs since it was a case of greed on a lot of peoples parts. this is supposed to be about the dogs and not how greedy the owners can be with the egg hunt. Not Steve or Brandy's fault but there needs to be rules on this next year to limit how many eggs each person gets so that all dogs get treats in the end.

Fabulous event! The Easter eggs weren't the issue. People who love their fur kids and want to be around others who do also made this event a success! And trying to find good homes for dogs needing adoption were the important issues. Good job guys....

We wish there had been a few more rescues or shelters there, but I understand why there weren't due to space.
I wish there had been a few more companies here but appreciated the ones that were.

Wish we had known the egg hunt was going to start so late. Our puppy isn't yet comfortable in such crowds. We left before the hunt. Had a great time meeting dogs, and their people.

To all of the folks, and their canine companion(s), who came out and supported the event, DogTV, DPOC, and all of the wonderful rescues and vendors in attendance: THANK YOU.

It was a grand time to be had by all who made it out on this nearly perfect weather of a day at Old World Village in Huntington Beach, CA.

Finally, a very special repeat shout-out to DogTV. Without their help, none of this would have been possible.

- MISSION STATEMENT -

DESPERATE PAWS OF ORANGE COUNTY DOG CLUB is a NOT-FOR-PROFIT CLUB designed to get PARENTS and their PAWS out of the house and enjoying life. The club was specifically created to place PARENTS and their PAWS together in fun social activities, while Advocating for Dog Welfare and Adoption.

ALL FRIENDLY PARENTS AND THEIR PAWS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN!

MEMBERSHIP IS FREE!!

Through the club we hold fun social activities, outings and events such as trips to Dog Beaches, Bark Parks, Hiking Trails, Restaurant and Happy Hour Pawties, Camping Trips, Paw Classes, Paw Expos, Pawventure Vacations, Adoption Events and More so that the PARENTS and their PAWS can play and socialize together at fun PAW-friendly venues.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL PARENTS AND THEIR PAWS AT THE UPCOMING OUTINGS!

THE DESPERATE PAWS OF ORANGE COUNTY DOG CLUB'S "PAW IT FORWARD" CAMPAIGN benefits Local Needy and Adoptable Dogs by funding Special Adoption Events in our community. This Club is so much more than just a place to have a great time with our PAWS but also through the Club's joint efforts with Local Businesses, Agencies, Dog Welfare Groups and County Officials we have been able to positively affect the lives of many more deserving PAWS who are not as fortunate to have wonderful PARENTS like our PAWS do.

DESPERATE PAWS OF ORANGE COUNTY DOG CLUB, its Efforts, Activities and Programs have been recognized by the following. Here is what they had to say:

"O.C. Animal Care has benefited greatly from our relationship with Desperate Paws of O.C. Dog Club and we are looking forward to the B.A.R.K 4 Kids program. As Orange County’s largest animal shelter, we see firsthand the lack of education in our community through the number of animals that come to our shelter lacking identification, proper care, and proper behavioral training. Through programs like this, and the wonderful volunteers in our community like Desperate Paws of O.C. Dog Club, we hope to further our cause of educating our younger community in responsible pet ownership and a higher respect for the animals we work so hard to protect." - Ryan Drabek, Director of O.C. Animal Care

THE NEEDY PAWS APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL DONATIONS!

We ask that you please read the D.P.O.C. DOG CLUB'S FAQs to answer any potential questions that you may have about the club. Thank You!

***In keeping with our Mission Statement, and Singleness of Purpose, there are times when Brandi and I feel that some people will join the Club to promote other activities or business ventures not in-line with the Club's Purpose. Therefore we feel it is essential to keep the Club's Mission Clear which is to promote Quality Time for bonding between PARENTS and their PAWS in fun social activities, while giving back to our Local Needy PAW Community. If you are joining for any other reason, please be advised you are joining the wrong Club....
