Paws & Prints Summer Market
Sat, 26 Jul 2025
Mark your calendars! On July 26th, we are thrilled to be hosting our first ever Paws & Prints Summer Market! Join us for an afternoon filled with homemade and local artisans, crafters and vendors; games and prizes; a photo booth; kid's corner; and community connection!
In addition to great personal shopping there will be:
- Pet Commissions
- A number of our vendors will be offering pet products and commissions! This means you could get your very own portrait or even a crocheted teddy bear of your pet, or gift for someone you know!
- So bring photos of your beloved pet(s)!
- Games & Prizes
- Guess the number of dog biscuits for your chance to win a $25 gift card for a handcrafted dog bed by Woolgathering!
- Head over to our photo booth and enter the contest to win a "Wandering Tails" package (value of $395) by professional pet photographer Melissa Pohl!
- Got a great pet name idea? Why not enter it in our name suggestion jar?
- Kid's Corner
- In addition to a kid's coloring contest, there will be several kids activities including a bean bag toss and a fun twist on i-Spy.
- Shed Shop
- Our homegrown second hand pet supply store will be open for you to do some extra shopping and find great deals on new and lightly used pet supplies.
- BVSPCA Merch & Prints
- Get your very own BVSPCA sticker: an artistic rendition of our dog and cat residents.
- Pawfessionally Done limited edition paintings by our very own dogs and cats! Limited quantities available.
- Cat Cuddling
- Need a break from shopping? Head inside the Adoption Centre and get some cat cuddles in for that bit of RnR! Who knows, you may find a new best friend.
