Take a bite out of pet cancer at a fun-filled day of live music dedicated to raising money to support the efforts of the Animal Cancer Foundation!  The 7th Annual Pet Rock in the Park will be taking place this Sunday, August 27, 2017 from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Deering Oaks Park (161 Forest Avenue, Portland, ME).  Performing this year will be the Time Pilots, a 6-piece dance party band who cover everything from Frank Sinatra to Reggae; Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, dedicated to the great front women of the ’80s; and The Substitutes, Maine’s own vintage rock band of the ’60s and ’70s.  In addition to the live music there will be animal demonstrations, food vendors, pet products and services.  There will also be animal shelters and rescue organizations with animals available for adoption.

Hosted by Portland Veterinary Specialists, the event is FREE, with proceeds to benefit the Animal Cancer Foundation.  The Animal Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to finding a cure for cancer by funding research in and increasing public awareness of comparative oncology, the study of naturally occurring cancers in people and pets.  Since 1999, the American Cancer Foundation has funded cooperative research initiatives to accelerate development of new therapies, and to bring together researchers across disciplines and species to share information.
