Canatara Beach was a delight for dogs, and their owners, Saturday, as hundreds were expected at the waterfront for the second annual Doggie Paddle Beachfest.

“It’s just a really good day for dogs and the dog rescues and all of that stuff,” said Julie Moorehouse, 48, who spent some time in the water with her four-year-old golden doodle Max, while others played in the surf in a fenced-off section of beach.

“I wish we had this all the time,” she said.

Along with the beach and another fenced-off section in the nearby park, there were water and land race courses, a barbecue, vendors, and rescue dogs on hand.

“We have dogs that people can meet if they’re looking to add a pet to the family,” said organizer Jenilyn Sheppard.

Proceeds raised were going to organizations like CK Animal Rescue, Save Me Rescue and Gentle Jakes Coonhound Rescue and Save Me Dog Rescue.

“The goal is to help with the adoption process, the advertising process, and find homes for all these dogs that they have,” said Sheppard.

She launched the event last year after being inspired visiting a dog-friendly beach community in California.
