Now, this is a good deal for all involved.

We are looking for people on several regular volunteering shifts: Sunday afternoon and Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. Volunteering generally is cleaning, but while you’re cleaning, you get to visit with the kitties and give them attention and socialization!

If interested, please find our volunteer application on our website, link below. It can be filled out and brought back to us in person or sent as scans or photos to [email protected].

🐾 Nonprofit Spotlight: Paws 4 A Cure 🐾

We’re honored to welcome Paws 4 A Cure to Pet Rock Fest 2026.

This incredible all-volunteer nonprofit provides financial assistance for urgent veterinary care to dogs and cats across the United States — helping families who are facing heartbreaking decisions simply because treatment costs are out of reach.

Their mission is simple but powerful: no dog or cat should be denied urgent medical care due to financial hardship.

Paws 4 A Cure supports hardworking families, seniors on fixed incomes, veterans, people with disabilities, and others going through difficult times — giving beloved pets a fighting chance and helping keep families together.

Organizations like this remind us that animal welfare isn’t just about rescue. Sometimes it’s about helping people hold onto the animals they already love. We’re grateful they’ll be part of Pet Rock Fest this year. 💛

🐶 Interested in joining us as a nonprofit, vendor, sponsor, or exhibitor? Spaces are still available for Pet Rock Fest 2026.

🐾 Sponsor Spotlight: Starwood Pet Resort 🐾

We’re excited to welcome Starwood Pet Resort as a first-time sponsor of Pet Rock Fest 2026!

Located in Oxford and under new ownership since 2025, Starwood Pet Resort offers dog daycare, boarding, and grooming in a safe, fun, and caring environment where pets are treated like family.

One recent customer review summed it up perfectly:

“You can tell they treat every dog like it’s their own.”

We’re grateful to Shawn, Stacey, and the entire Starwood team for supporting Pet Rock Fest and the animal welfare community.

Please help us give them a warm Pet Rock welcome — and check them out if you’re looking for a trusted place for your pets to play, stay, and be pampered. 🐶

🐾 We’re excited to welcome Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue back to !🐾

Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue is a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing Golden Retrievers and “Golden-Hearted” dogs, providing individualized medical care, enrichment, training, and support while helping each dog find the right forever family.

Their volunteers work tirelessly to improve the emotional, physical, and mental well-being of every dog that comes through their program — and honestly, if you’ve ever met a Golden Retriever, you probably understand why people fall in love with the breed so quickly. (And yes, some of us may believe they’re the greatest family dogs ever created. No bias at all. 😄)

We’re thrilled they’ve already secured their space for this year’s festival.

🐶 Nonprofits, vendors, sponsors and animal-friendly businesses: spaces are still available, but signups are already underway for Pet Rock Fest 2026!
