Paw-some event for Brisbane pet lovers ...
Brisbane is set to play host to the very first non-profit dog market where proud paw-rents will be able to get hold of everything to please even the most fussy fur-baby.
Paws-Fest will feature 50 stalls, stocking everything a puppy could desire from dog treats to toys. There will also be plenty on offer for their human companions with food trucks, children’s entertainment and some very cute RSPCA adoptables.
This event hosted in Eagle Farm by Paws & Relax, is in aid of RSPCA Queensland which will get 100 per cent of the profits from the day. It is proudly sponsored by Barkley and Pips and Supervets Manly West & Hendra.
It’s the brainchild of RSPCA All Stars Ambassador Katrina Roberts who has committed to raising ten thousand dollars for the charity. Katrina is one of 10 ambassadors who are all embarking on an inspiring adventure as part of a national television project.

“Come along and have a great day out with your furry family member, you’d be barking mad to miss out.”
