Doggie Street Festival Mission:
The Doggie Street Festival is dedicated to increasing pet adoption through its yearly Festival. This Festival is designed to be an informative experience that promotes public awareness, education and information focused on the solutions of pet homelessness.
The Festival spotlights San Diego County’s breed-specific rescue groups and shelters and to that extent, hosts these organizations county-wide with their adoptable dogs providing them a platform free of charge to distribute literature, advocate and encourage responsible pet-adoption.
The Doggie Street Festival is also committed to presenting special educational events and projects throughout the year that will inform and educate the public on a range of ways to become more involved in positive change in an effort to encourage public participation to end pet homelessness in our communities.
