Kenton Krufts 2025 — A Heartfelt Morning for Our Four-Legged Friends 🐾
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for Kenton Krufts Dog Show & Fundraiser 2025.
It was a gentle, relaxed morning with wagging tails, happy families, and a wonderful group of dog lovers who came out to support local animal welfare. Every entry, every clap, every donation made a real difference — and we are deeply grateful.
To all who entered their doggies, and to those who simply came along to show support: thank you. You helped raise much-needed funds in aid of local animal welfare.
