North America’s largest dog festival went off without a hitch at The Plunkett Estate over the weekend.
Pawlooza supports ARF, the Animal Rescue Foundation, as well as Leads Employment Services.
“We feel that we hit capacity earlier than we ever have before which means we were in the 20,000 – 25,000 range for the people coming in,” Laurie Ristmae, ARF’s founder, told AM980.
“And dogs? There were thousands of dogs, we figure upwards of 6,000 dogs arrived.”
Ristmae added that one of the adoption agencies on site received over 40 applications by Sunday.
