What is Pet Palooza?
Join us for Pet Palooza 2022 – the first time we’ll be celebrating our annual Pet Palooza Walk and Festival in person after two years of virtual events! Not only will we be back together in person, we will be celebrating at our new Animal Resource Center, opening Spring 2022! Plus, Pet Palooza was voted Runner Up Best Festival by the Charlotte Magazine BoB Awards!
WHAT IS PET PALOOZA: Pet Palooza, our annual fundraising walk and community festival has been a staple of the Charlotte community for over 20 years. Featuring live music, food trucks, pet loving vendors and fun for the whole family, Pet Palooza is a mainstay of our organization. While the festival is free to attend, those who wish to participate in the quarter-mile pup strut must register ahead of time.
