Charity Contests and Games


A Dynamic Weekend With A Charitable Twist!

We have a Funtastic Festival planned for animal lovers of all ages. But the best thing about Woofa~Roo Pet Fest is our charitable component. We have several events which will benefit our charities located on Adoption Circle at the entrance of the Libro Center. Our rescues / charities are always looking for volunteers, forever homes and foster homes. Please check them out !


Don't forget our Silent Auction which also benefit our Charities. Quality gift baskets and amazing prices. A MUST SEE!


If you are thinking about adding a new pet to your family . . . talk to one of our rescues . . . because every animal needs a family to love.

Lure Coursing


Many dogs love the thrill of the chase, not just sighthounds. It doesn’t matter if your dog is a small terrier, a Labrador Retriever or a mixed breed, if they love to chase things, they will love lure coursing! 


Fee to run our lure course is $10.00 per run.


CRAZY FUN on THE RUN!

New This Year!!

Creative Grooming Presentation!


New to Woofa~Roo ---- New to Essex County

We want to show you an artistic side to grooming. We have called on several local groomers to put their best efforts forward and inject a bit of art into their craft. We are excited to present their final results on Sunday June 25th.


PLEASE NOTE:All products our groomers use are pet friendly and not much different from face paint for children. All these dogs are accustom to being groomed on a regular basis and often look forward to being handled during the process. Some fall asleep.

NO NERVOUS dogs are used during the grooming.
