What is Poodle Palooza?
Imagine a day filled with the sight of poodles of all shapes, sizes, and colors and happy, smiling people! Poodle Palooza is a vibrant festival that celebrates “everything poodle” and honors this magnificent breed for its amazing support of its handlers daily.
The event features a variety of activities, including:
Meeting trained Service Dogs - and dogs-in-training - and their handlers.
Great food by Fat Boys Food Truck, plus a dessert cart!
Fun booths!
Two raffle drawings for two adult e-bikes donated by Forcome.com!
Why is Poodle Palooza Important?
Since 2018, Poodle Palooza has been more than just a fun day out with your dog; it's a community event that brings people together to celebrate the unique bond between humans and their pets. It's a space where dog lovers can share stories, exchange tips, and enjoy the company of others who understand the special joy dogs bring into our lives. It’s also an excellent opportunity for the community to learn about who we are, what we do, why, and how they can support us!
Happy Attendees at the 2023 Poodle Palooza
Supporting MobilityDog: A Cause Close to Our Hearts
While Poodle Palooza is a joyful celebration, it also serves a deeper purpose. This event is an essential fundraiser for MobilityDog, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing assistance dogs to individuals with mobility challenges. These specially trained dogs offer invaluable support, helping their owners with everyday tasks and offering companionship that enhances their quality of life.
MobilityDog trains and provides assistance dogs, educates the public about the benefits of service dogs, and advocates for greater access and inclusion for people with disabilities. By supporting MobilityDog, you're helping to empower individuals with the independence and confidence they need to navigate their world.
The Poodle Palooza puts faces to personal stories and ensures our mission will help even more people challenged with daily mobility issues.
