Indians welcome dogs to Progressive Field for Puppypalooza

CLEVELAND - The crowd at Thursday’s Tribe game might be a little louder and slightly less well-behaved than usual.

The Indians and the Cleveland Animal Protective League are inviting fans to bring their pet dogs to the game against the Oakland A’s for an event called Puppypalooza.

The event promises activities for dogs, including pet vendors, an animal performance, and an on-field parade during pregame ceremonies, as well as veterinarians.

The Dog Package tickets are $30 for one person and one dog. Additional human tickets are $15. Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, and dog owners must show proof of vaccination and fill out a liability waiver as they enter the ballpark.

Puppypalooza tickets can be ordered at www.indians.com/puppypalooza . More information about the Cleveland APL is available at www.clevelandapl.org .
