Loving pet owners at a new Montreal dog festival couldn't imagine parting with their creatures, but the SPCA says many are forced into tough decisions.
As part of YATAI MTL, the four day celebration of Japan happening this week at Les Quais au Bassin Peel, a dog gathering and contest is part of the festivities. It's specifically for the Shiba and Akita breeds. Then, in a few weeks, the organizers of that event have created Montreal's first ever festival dedicated to dogs, the Woopaw Fest (June 30 to July 2). We spoke with Moëv Kurdi, the logistic coordinator and creative director of both events.
Montreal is going to the dogs this summer but in the best way possible. The very first edition of the Woopaw Fest is coming to Montreal from June 30 to July 2, 2023 so mark you and your furry friends' calendars.
