Join The Perfect Fit Feeder and many other vendors at the 9th Annual Pookie's RescueFest.  January 28. 2017 from 10am - 4pm.

Pookie’s is proud to announce its 9th Annual RescueFest, a fundraiser and adoption day to benefit local non-profit animal rescue groups! This year’s event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 28, 2017, at the picturesque Lake Lily Park in Maitland, FL.

This fun-filled annual event seeks to increase awareness and promote adoption of homeless pets, tens of thousands of which are abandoned and turned in to local shelters every year in Central Florida. You can make a difference for animals in need!

Last year’s event was their most successful yet, featuring 40 breed-specific and other local rescue groups and more than 60 vendors. Nearly 6,000 animal lovers joined the festivities and, best of all, over 80 dogs and cats found their forever homes in just one day! The event raised more than $10,000 in vital funding for participating rescues.

In addition to adoptions, a wide variety of pet services including pet trainers, pet sitters, pet communicators, pet boarding and veterinary services will be on-site to provide information, giveaways and more. Natural foods and supplements companies will share educational information on pet nutrition and raffle off goodies. Music, food trucks and entertainment will abound as well. And naturally, RescueFest is family- and pet-friendly!

Check out their website for more details and photos.  We hope to see you there!!
