- Free photos with the “Love My Pup” heart frame
- A chance to win a complimentary photo session with local photographer Julia Maloof Verderosa and gift certificates to local businesses
- Free rabies vaccinations provided by the South Orange Department of Health ● Meet-and-greet opportunities with adoptable dogs from the Associated Humane Societies
