Join us for Pet Palooza 2024 – We welcome you back to celebrate at our recently opened Animal Resource Center! Pet Palooza was voted Runner Up Best Festival by the Charlotte Magazine BoB Awards! What's Pet Palooza? For over 25 years, Pet Palooza has been an integral part of the Charlotte community—an annual fundraising walk and community festival that brings people together. Expect live music, food trucks, pet-centric vendors, and an array of engaging activities suitable for the entire family. It's an event that embodies the spirit of our organization. Those who wish to participate in the 3/4 mile walk must register ahead of time. Join us for the Pet Palooza Fundraising Walk, kicking off at 11 am on April 6.
