This year we look forward to celebrating our favorite howliday with everyone, Howl-O-Ween
Stop by the WTFR booth to meet some of our fosters available for adoption or sign up to become a foster home to help by taking in an animal in need!! Without fosters, we wouldn't be able to help animals like these get the second chance they deserve!!
While you're visiting our current fosters, check out the stories of our former fosters who are now living their best lives with their furever families!
Old Friends will be here playing some great music! Kicking things off starting around 1pm - they'll have some great tunes to put everyone in a mood to have some fun!
Be sure to stop by the axe throwing trailer brought to us by Axes & Allies in Wilmington, NC, & be sure to say hi to Ruckus while you're there, former WTFR Foster, now A&A mascot & MVP!
Always a great stop, be sure to stop by our silent auction tent to see what items you could be lucky enough to win! Changes every year, but never fails to impress those looking to donate and get a little something in return! Do not have to be present to win, but will have to arrange pick up if not at event when bids close. Best of luck y'all!
Always something good to buy when you shop local! Be sure to swing by our Rescue Merchandise Booth to pick up some WTFR swag and pawesome pet odor candles on your rounds to check out all the local vendors we'll have setup to show off their incredible work!
We'll update this section as we get our vendors lined up! To become a vendor at this event, fill out our Vendor Registration Form
Who doesn't love getting good ole wet sloppy kisses from a loveable pup?? Get your picture taken by our incredible event photographer with one of our pups for a small donation to the rescue at our "Licking" Booth, one of many photo ops around the farm!
Event Photographer for Bark-B-Que is Mandi Rollins from Wilmington, NC!
Be sure to check-in online while at the event and see if you're featured in any of her candid shots throughout the event. Better yet, stop & talk to her about booking one of her upcoming sessions for you and yours! But act fast, she fills up quick!!
Texas Roadhouse will be joining us again with their famous rolls & butter, beef tips, bbq, & veggies. If we're starting with TRH, just WAIT until we have everything lined up as we get closer to date!!
Snag your 21+ wristband & drink tickets and stop by our Tito's Bar for some killer cocktails under the big tent, you won't be able to miss it!!!
