FREE ADMISSION
FREE PARKING
We are celebrating the 35th Anniversary of Friends of the Shelter at PetFest. Stop by our location to get a free tote bag (one per family), cupcakes and a free door prize ticket.
Please Note: A New Location This Year
PetFest is again in September, on Sunday Sept 28. However, IT WILL BE MOVED TO England Idlewild Park, 5500 Idlewild Rd, Burlington. The Park is next to the Boone County Animal Shelter. The change is due to construction at our Boone Woods location.
We believe PetFest is a great opportunity to showcase adoptable animals, merchandise and humane education information.

Contribute to our Food Court
Every year members donate the items for sale in the food court so we can sell them at reasonable prices. We'll post a list of specific items needed on Facebook closer to the event. These are things like: chips, drinks, hot dogs, buns, condiments, paper towels, ice, baked goods (individually wrapped), etc.

We also understand it if you don't want to shop and would rather contribute money to the expense. See link below.
If you'd like toVolunteer
We need many volunteers on PetFest day to direct vehicles to their booth spaces, help set-up/ take-down booths, pass out programs and assist at the food court. Teens and adults welcome. This counts as Service Hours for teens.
