Each spring, Gwinnett Humane Society hosts PAWfest, a community awareness event that strives to educate the public on pet-related issues while celebrating the human-pet bond. In 2010, 2011, & 2012 we are also proud to share that PAWfest was voted as one of Gwinnett's Best Local Festivals in Gwinnett Magazine's Best of Gwinnett.
Here are some of the events included in last year's PAWfest:
- Pet-related demonstrations, including agility and Frisbee demos by K9 Einstein
- Educational booths focused on pet health & safety, including feeding, training, grooming, and more
- Low-cost Rabies and Microchip clinic
- Pack Hike led around the Camp Creek Greenway by Atlanta's own, Angie Woods
- Our exciting Silent Auction and PAWfest Raffle
- Our popular Dog Contests and live entertainment, provided by the Amazing Mongooses
- Vendor and Pet Rescue booths
Over the past 22 years, PAWfest has grown both as an educational experience and a fun family event. In 2015, over 1,000 people and their pets attended PAWfest. We were excited to announce that PAWfest 2016 will be celebrated at Briscoe Park in Snellville for the first time. With our amazing new location and partnership with the City of Snellville, we think 2016 we be an even bigger and better event for our community!
