Come to Pet Rock on Oct 4th at the Lancaster Fair Grounds. Pet Rock is the largest animal welfare fundraising events around. There will be lots of vendors, displays, vegetarian/vegan food trucks, live music and so much more.
We will be there. Be sure to stop by our booth and say hello!

🐾 THIS is the heart of Pet Rock Fest.

The music rocks. The contests are hilarious. The demonstrations are amazing. And yes, there will be an impressive number of animals wandering around.

But THIS is why Pet Rock Fest exists.

More than 50 nonprofit organizations are already joining us Oct. 4 — representing just about every corner of animal welfare.

🐶 Dog and cat rescues and shelters.
🐰 Rabbit rescues.
🐐 Farm animal sanctuaries.
🦅 Wildlife rehabilitators.
🐕‍🦺 Service and therapy animal organizations.
🔎 Lost-pet recovery groups.
⚖️ Advocates fighting for stronger protections for animals.
❤️ Organizations helping animals — and the people who love them — through some of life's toughest moments.

Big organizations. Tiny volunteer rescues. People working from facilities and people working from their own homes. Different animals, different missions, different approaches — one enormous shared purpose: making life better for animals.

They're the reason we started Pet Rock Fest 28 years ago. And they're still the reason we do it today.

Come meet them. Ask questions. Learn what they do. Find out how you can foster, adopt, volunteer, donate or advocate. You might walk into Pet Rock Fest simply loving animals and walk out having discovered exactly how you can help one.

And if your animal welfare nonprofit isn't on our list yet? What are you waiting for? Nonprofit participation is FREE! There's still time to join the pack.

🐾 See who's coming: https://www.petrockfest.org/animal-groups

Milasha is a sweet, joyful girl looking for her forever home, and she deserves a family who will give her the love, patience, belly rubs, and quality time she’s been waiting for. Milasha came from Kuwait, where she was unfortunately kept in a birdcage in the Friday Markets with her brothers and sisters. As a result, she has a slightly deformed foot. Thankfully, she has been evaluated and it doesn’t bother her at all, she can run and play like lightning!

She is an incredibly loving companion who gets along wonderfully with people of all ages and other dogs. Her current family loves her dearly, but due to financial circumstances, they’re unable to install the fencing needed to keep her safe.
Now, they’re hoping to find Milasha a loving family where she can be safe, happy, and cherished.

Please see the details in the photo for additional information.

Interested in Milasha joining your family? Please reach out to us by emailing [email protected]. We can also help in coordinating her transport.
Donation Adoption Fee: $250

Please share to help Milasha find the family she deserves. Thank you.

We have donated to Candy’s Hound Rescue International for years, even before we created The Greyson Foster Fund. The work they do is heartbreaking, difficult, and absolutely essential. Every year, they help save hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of lives from the horrific dog meat trade.

This weekend, Candy’s team seized hundreds of dogs from a meat truck. We have never been an organization that shares the truly graphic images we encounter in rescue, but we also recognize that these horrors are the reality these dogs face.
I went back and forth about sharing a screenshot of the hundreds of dogs — dogs of all breeds and sizes, crammed into tiny cages and living in absolutely deplorable conditions. In the end, I simply couldn’t bring myself to share it. Instead, I want you to focus on these photos that Candy’s shared of their shelter volunteers giving these souls something they may have never known before: love, kindness, safety, and care.
Many people have asked me whether the dog meat trade in China is really happening. That is one of the reasons I wanted to share this story. I think the reality is so horrific and difficult to comprehend that some people believe it must be an urban legend, that something this awful couldn’t possibly be true. I wish that were the case.

Thankfully, organizations like Candy’s have boots on the ground, working tirelessly to rescue these dogs and fight to end the dog meat trade. Some people look at celebrities and see superheroes. To me, Keri, the founder of Candy’s, is both a celebrity and a superhero. Her courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment to these dogs are truly extraordinary.

Thank you, as always, to our incredible supporters. Because of you, we are able to continually support organizations like Candy’s and help give these dogs the chance at a life they deserve. They deserve to know love. They deserve to be safe. And they deserve to live.

Over the weekend, we made a donation to House of Hounds USA to help support their medical needs. Like so many of the animal rescue organizations we work with around the world, they are doing the incredibly difficult and often heartbreaking work of saving these precious souls.

This is Saeed, just one of the many Salukis they have rescued in Dubai. We are so grateful to House of Hounds for everything they do to give these sweet dogs a second chance at life. We simply cannot thank them enough.

And to our amazing supporters, THANK YOU. Your generosity allows us to continue helping rescue dogs in need, not just here at home, but worldwide.

Happy July 4th everyone! Please remember more dogs go missing this time of year due to being scared off from fireworks. Please leave your pets at home and secure them to keep them safe! They dont enjoy the fireworks, loud noise, heat or crowds like people do. Protect your babies and have a beautiful and safe weekend!
