Voorhees Animal Orphanage to Host 23rd Annual Woofstock Festival

Calling all groovy pets and pet lovers! The Voorhees Animal Orphanage (VAO) is ready to bark and roll at their 23rd Annual Woofstock Festival, a dog-friendly event open to the public on Saturday, September 28 from 11 a.m. to

4 p.m. at the Voorhees Town Center in Voorhees Township, N.J. Entry to the festival is just $2 and proceeds from Woofstock, VAO’s largest fund-raising event of the year, support medical care, pet food and supplies for the community shelter’s dogs and cats.

The fun-filled event will feature dog demonstrations, delicious food and music. Highlights include: the VAO alumni parade, pet photos, a performance from the Joseph A. Ferko String Band, more than 100 gift basket raffle items, a demonstration from the Camden County K-9 Unit, $25 micro-chipping, craft, retail and pet products vendors, local veterinarian information tables and more.

“Each year, Woofstock helps raise awareness about VAO’s mission and helps us continue to provide medical care and feed and house cats and dogs until we can place them into their forever homes,” said Jennifer Bailey, marketing director, VAO. “This year is especially exciting as the countdown is on for our long-awaited new animal shelter that will provide a more comfortable environment for our animals.”

Woofstock is sponsored by the Camden County Board of Freeholders, the Petco Foundation, CNS Cleaning Company, Jaguar Land Rover Cherry Hill, Pet Valu, RBC Wealth Management, South Jersey Magazine, the Mount Laurel Animal Hospital, and Elkins Chevrolet.
