The Winnipeg Goldeyes Baseball club is teaming up with the Winnipeg Pet Show for the event that will feature dog themed entertainment, prizes and pet-related vendors.

Tickets for the game are $12 each and include admission for one adult and a dog as well as a free doggie treat bag. Additional adult tickets can be bought for $9 through the Goldeyes’ website.

A portion of the proceeds from the ticket sale will go towards the Winnipeg Humane Society.

Pet owners will have to sign a waiver and provide proof of vaccinations.

Only certain areas of Shaw Park will be designated for dogs.
