London's Festival For Dogs Partners With Animal Rescue Groups Across Ontario to Celebrate International Homeless Animals’ Day
On Saturday, August 21st, "Pawlooza", London's Festival for Dogs, partners with 40 animal welfare and rescue groups across Ontario to combat Canada's abandoned and neglected animal epidemic.
In an effort to raise awareness about the growing amount of homeless and neglected pets in Canada, Pawlooza - London's Festival for Dogs, has coordinated one of the country's largest animal rescue gatherings (ever) to its mix of everything dog-related. The festival has close to 40 rescue and non-profit, animal welfare groups who are showcasing adoptable pets, fundraising, and networking.
The festivities take place at the Plunkett Estate in West London on Saturday, August 21st. The date – the third Saturday in August – has been reserved by the International Society for Animal Rights’ (ISAR) for ‘International Homeless Animals Day’. The day features close to 80 rallies, adopt-a-thons, and events being coordinated across the globe.
Pawlooza organizers are expecting upwards of 15,000 animal lovers and their canine companions to be in attendance. There will also be 125 pet-industry vendors, free samples, pet psychic shows, trick demonstrations, doggie dock diving, trail walking, racing, a doggie DNA lab, cutest dog contests and more. With Michael O’Sullivan, the Executive Director of the Humane Society of Canada, recently reporting that “each year, in Canada, over 400,000 healthy dogs and cats are killed because there simply aren’t enough homes”, the stage appears to be set for the rescue groups and their adoptable animals to get some much needed exposure.
