Woofstock 2019 represented the best of Rescue Village’s mission: to act on behalf of animals to inspire a more humane community. The weather could not have been better to kick the day off…partly sunny with a cool breeze. People from near and far brought their well-behaved pups for a day of socializing, games and fun. For the humans, there were food trucks, live music and festival booths filled with tempting treats for people and dogs alike.

For the first time this year, we hosted Hoofstock and featured our adorable adoptable pigs to the delight of many. Here our barn program manager Adrianne Johnson talks with a local family about our adoptable pigs.

And as usual, the Canine Costume Contest was a huge hit and we were pleased to have esteemed local journalists as our panel of judges. The creativity was astounding!

We would like to thank our sponsors, our Board, our volunteers, the fundraising teams and our incredible employees for a wonderful Woofstock 2019 event. Pictured here are Sheila Simpson, Vice President Bruce Hartzmark, President Kathy Leavenworth and Steve Schneider.

Our fundraising teams have raised nearly $40,000 for Rescue Village’s animal care programs to date. If you haven’t already, please take a moment to donate today.  We are so grateful for the continued enthusiasm and compassion of our Rescue Village community!
