Pawlooza is the ultimate dog party! Join 15,000 people and 4,000 dogs on Saturday August 21st from 10 AM - 6 PM for Ontario's most unique and dog-friendly festival experience. Take your dog dock diving, go trailwalking, go swimming in the Pawlooza pond, test your dog's agility in the FunZone, get trick advice, get obedience advice, get readings from a pet psychic, learn about pet first aid, watch agility demonstrations, watch the Jack Russell races... shop from 100 vendors, load up on free samples, watch dozens of doggie demonstrations and events happening throughout the day. We've packed as much fun into one day as possible... there isn't a better place to spoil your dog! Admission is free at Pawlooza; but, there is a $10 cost per vehicle for parking [all for charity]. So, be sure to car pool and pack as many people and dogs into your car as you can! It only happens once a year... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Pawlooza is a 100% charity-driven festival - from all of the time put into the festival to all of the proceeds. Thousands of hours are put into the festival by the organizing committee and two hundred volunteers. All are working on behalf of their two not-for-profit charities - [Animal Rescue Foundation Ontario – working with first nations and rural communities throughout Ontario to rescue, rehab and re-home stray dogs and cats, and Leads – helping people with disabilities throughout SW Ontario find employment and receive skills training]. Pawlooza has also partnered with animal rescue groups from across Canada who are at Pawlooza, showing off their adoptables, fundraising, and helping to raise awareness about animal welfare.
