West Allis is gearing up for a celebration of paws and pours with the return of Pawtoberfest on September 28, where local animal aficionados can come together for a cause. From noon to 4 p.m., the West Allis Farmers Market at 6501 W. National Ave. will be transformed into a hub of activity dedicated to pet lovers and their furry friends. According to official event details, attendees can look forward to a variety of pet-related vendors, pet-friendly activities, a pet-themed raffle, and the presence of local non-profits—all while savoring local craft beer and tempting bites from food trucks.
The After Hours Rotary Club of West Allis is hosting this community-focused event where well-behaved, leashed pets are invited to join in the festivities. It's not just about enjoying a sunny afternoon with man's best friend, though; all proceeds from Pawtoberfest will be channeled to support local pet rescues and shelters. Among the non-profits benefiting from the event are Lucky Mutts Rescue, Chained Dogs Mke Inc, and many others.
Enthusiasts of companionship that our four-legged companions offer will find a bounty of resources and ways to pamper their pets. Vendors lined up for Pawtoberfest include Laughing Dawg Studio for the art aficionados, Integrative Veterinary Service for those interested in holistic pet wellness, and Willowbark Pet Photography to capture those precious pet moments. For those looking to treat their pets, Auntie Jennie’s Barkery and Jimmie’s Dog Gone Treats will be serving up canine delicacies.
The event promises to be a one-stop shop for pet lovers looking to explore services and wares from local businesses like Woof N Wear, Sugar Pups, and Kendra's Creatures. Additionally, more specialized offerings such as rescues spezializing in cats like SavingSadie Inc and Second Hand Purrs Cat Shelter will also be on site, emphasizing the supportive network Pawtoberfest extends to various animal causes within the community.
