Charity Contests and Games
A Dynamic Weekend With A Charitable Twist!
We have a Funtastic Festival planned for animal lovers of all ages. But the best thing about Woofa~Roo Pet Fest is our charitable component. We have several events which will benefit our charities located on Adoption Circle at the entrance of the Libro Center. Our rescues / charities are always looking for volunteers, forever homes and foster homes. Please check them out !
Don't forget our Silent Auction which also benefit our Charities. Quality gift baskets and amazing prices. A MUST SEE!
If you are thinking about adding a new pet to your family . . . talk to one of our rescues . . . because every animal needs a family to love.

CRAZY FUN on THE RUN!
What a Treat!!
