🎉 What’s It All About?
Join us for Festival of the Hound, a joyous, dog-friendly day celebrating the wonderful world of greyhounds — all while raising critical funds for their rescue and rehabilitation!

This isn't just a festival — it’s a snoot-filled mission to support our beloved houndies. With proceeds going to Dolly’s Fund, a brand-new community support initiative created by the legendary Auntee Jen.

Every dollar raised goes toward helping greyhounds in need — whether it’s surgery, training, or simply a second chance at love.

What Is Dollys FUND?

Dolly’s Fund is our new initiative named after the beloved greyhound, Dolly.

Instead of splitting donations across groups, this fund will be available year-round to help any rescue dog that needs urgent support — from vet care to behavioural rehab.It's simple: if there’s a hound in trouble, Dolly’s Fund will be there.

🍽️ Let’s Eat (and Woof)

Thanks to our friends at BrewDog Pentridge, there’ll be:

  • A special event menu including delicious vegan options
  • A Barkouterie Board for your hound (yes, really)
  • A portion of every sale goes to Dolly’s Fund

Come hungry. Leave happy. Support hounds.
