Puptoberfest 2021
What Is There To Do?
Dress to impress
Puptoberfest is a HUGE event with multiple food trucks, a kid zone for play and contests for your dog.
There is music, lots of room to walk around and spread out and of course a HUGE area to visit with adoptable dogs from Eleventh Hour Rescue waiting to be noticed and adopted!
PTF also houses over 100 vendors with some of the most unique shopping at any pet event ever!
What Does WDHA Do There?
We broadcast live, host contests and kiss your dogs! Stop by our booth, meet the DJ’s and play a game to win some prizes……And of course our legendary WDHA Ultimate Rock Dogs competition begins at 1p!
Warning….Terrie Carr might try and steal your dog.
How Do I Adopt?
There is an adoption village set up and you can meet with dogs onsite, but being pre-approved as an adopter is always a help.
Can My Dog Get In The WDHA Ultimate Rock Dogs Contest?
The WDHA Ultimate Rock Dogs contests finalists are picked before Puptoberfest based on listener votes on the WDHA website, the dogs stories and photos. The top 12 are brought to Puptoberfest to compete at the event at 1p.

Where Do I Park?
Tito’s Kissing Booth
You can park in the Horseshoe lake lot (for a donation fee for EHR) but get there early as the main lot fills fast, but there is additional free parking at Horseshoe Lake and a short walk to the event.
Can I Dress Up My Dog?
Please do! There is a costume contest for all dogs and it rocks! Humans are welcome to dress to impress too!
Are All Dogs Welcome?
All dogs on a leash are welcome at Puptoberfest. Please note, this is a large event, so please know your dogs boundaries with humans and other dogs.
Any Love For The Cats?
EHR has hundreds of cats looking for homes as well. There is usually a Cat adoption area as well, so Cat lovers and adopters are encouraged!
Is It A Rain Or Shine Event?
It is…..and we tend to find the sun always shines on “PUPTOBERFEST”!
We believe that founder Linda Schiller is looking down on us. We lost her in 2020. R.I.P. Linda…..
Thanks for all you gave the animals.
We hope you come out and enjoy the day with your family. Raising awareness for shelter dogs and the humans who help our community is our mission. Thanks to Eleventh Hour Rescue for including WDHA!
I call it The Dog Prom! Just look at my date!
