Puppy Alley & Rescue Row

Presented by Tractor Supply

Open every Friday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in the Rhodes Center.

There’s more than one way to meet a new best friend at the All American Quarter Horse Congress. Visit Puppy Alley & Rescue Row to meet puppies and dogs, connect with the people caring for them, and learn about adoption opportunities.

Tractor Supply is the presenting sponsor of Puppy Alley & Rescue Row. We thank Tractor Supply for helping bring this Congress favorite to visitors and exhibitors.

Adoption support provided by PulseVet. PulseVet is underwriting the cost of adoption at Rescue Row, helping dogs take the next step toward a new home. Please speak with the participating rescue about its adoption process.
