This fun-filled event brings together local vendors, small businesses, fellow nonprofits, and animal lovers for a day of community, compassion, and plenty of four-legged friends.

At the heart of Bark-B-Que is a mission to raise vital funds that help power the rescue’s programs and provide care for animals in need. But it’s more than just a fundraiser—it’s a chance to connect, celebrate, and build relationships within the community, all while supporting a great cause. From meeting adoptable pets to shopping local and enjoying the lively atmosphere, there’s something for everyone (including your pup!).

Bark-B-Que also aims to spread awareness about responsible pet ownership, helping educate the community on the care, commitment, and love our animals deserve. It’s a day to have fun, give back, and make a meaningful difference—one wag at a time.
