This year, Barktoberfest will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2024 from 10am to 3pm at Burgoyne Woods in St. Catharines. There will be a walkathon (1km or 5km), tons of activities, a 50/50 draw, and raffles. Some of our adoptable dogs will also drop by to say hello! This is a great event to share with the whole family, dogs included, so we hope to see you all there!

Proceeds from Barktoberfest go to the dog socialization fund, which supports medical procedures, field trips and outings, international transfers, canine massages, and basic dog necessities (collars, leashes, treats, toys, etc.). Don't worry, our cats and small animals also receive a portion of the proceeds, so all the shelter animals benefit from this great event!
