It’s all About Us

Actually, it’s for the love of all dogs…

The Pawsitively Elgin (PAWS) Dog Festival is 100% volunteer driven, including our 12 Committee members. The festival was created to bring awareness to dog adoption and animal rescues and the important role they play. It’s not all puppy kisses - it’s hard and sometimes heartbreaking work.

PAWS is run by a Trust and all proceeds (money raised less expenses) through the event are donated to our beneficiaries. We always want to make the current year’s festival the best one yet for our rescues and everyone involved with the festival. 

Nothing brings people together more than a beautiful day, fresh air, friends and family, good food, browsing and shopping and lots and lots of dogs.  We look forward to spending the day in the park with you!
