WDHA's Dog Days Of Summer Event - Know Before You Go
WDHA’s Dog Days Of Summer is BACK! At our WDHA Studios (where it all began 13 years ago!) at 55 Horsehill Rd in Cedar Knolls New Jersey- THIS Saturday – June 1st beginning at Noon! Please come out, support our local New Jersey Rescue Groups, and find a new best friend!
Why Does WDHA Do An Adoption Event Before The Summer?
We are happy to do our own adoption events any time of the year for a multitude of reasons.
- We are a community-minded station, that is always striving to alleviate stress with those in the community making a difference. We have worked with many animal rescue groups over the years especially when I began our Rock N’ Ruff program and having our listeners meet the INCREDIBLE volunteers, and their fabulous animals and see all that they do is important. That’s what the community does. we help each other.
- Summer is a great time to adopt. Longer days, nice weather, more time to spend with a new best friend.
- Our rescue groups are FULL – most times of the year, so anytime is a good time to gain exposure, get animals adopted and raise some funds and donations for these great folks and their residents.
We are bringing the event back to the WDHA Parking Lot (where it started in 2011) as our listeners love to come here and we have plenty of room. And we always have rockers lending their support- This year the amazing DES ROCS is going to join us to perform and hang with the pups and fans!
You can check out the event link – WDHA’s Dog Days Of Summer Event Info– and check out my list of most frequently asked questions about our event below- So you can be prepared to join us for a super fun day of Rescue and Rock! – and check out this week’s Rock N’ Ruff dog up for adoption- DEXTER!

Can I Adopt Onsite on Saturday?
Every rescue group has a different policy. Some have applications to be filled out, while others will adopt onsite. Example…11th Hour Rescue requires an approved application, so I suggest to fill one out online in advance so you can get pre-approved. Don’t be afraid to ask our groups questions- They are there to help you find a great match.
Where Can We Park?
Meet Your new best friend!
The WDHA studio lot will be used for the event however the lot directly next door at 45 Horsehill is our approved parking lot for the day. There is plenty of easy parking in the huge office complex lot next door and it’s a very short walk to the next driveway over to the station.
Give Us The Scoop On Des Rocs Performing! Can We Meet Him?
Des Rocs
Des Rocs is an amazing artist- his latest release “Dream Machine” is climbing the rock charts when we found out he was home from touring and wanted to help we were PSYCHED!

How Can I Support The Rescue's Attending (if I can't adopt? )
Linens Needed for the pups!
It’s easy to help, even if you are not looking to adopt. You can make a donation of food or new supplies. Some of our groups especially ALL HUMANE are in desperate need of linens- sheets, towels, T shirts, Sleeping Bags for the dogs. Please visit their table with your gently used linens. You can make a monetary donation as they will all be taking donations. Every bit helps. You can purchase something from the groups table (some will be vending too), you can inquire about fostering or volunteering. Maybe you can’t adopt, but can short term foster, or walk a dog twice a week, or donate a special skill, say building or fixing. There are so many ways to help.
You can also let our shelter groups know you appreciate their hard work.Can I Bring My Dog?
YES! BUT- must be on a leash – no retractable leashes please! We always want to be as safe as possible.
Dogs On A LEASH are welcome!
