Poodle Day is an annual event in Carmel, California, that unites poodle owners and lovers--and their furry companions--for a fun-filled day, which includes a parade for poodles, poodle mixes, and their human companions, off-leash beach play, as well as evening cocktail parties. In addition to being one of California's premier vacation destinations, Carmel consistently ranks as one of Dog Fancy's top ten most dog-friendly cities in America.
Proceeds from Poodle Day benefit NorCal Poodle Rescue, which has been a haven for poodles and poodle mixes in need in Northern California and Southern Oregon for over 30 years. NorCal's philosophy is to help poodles while also enriching the lives of the people who adopt them.
