If this event is coming to life, it’s thanks to an incredible chain of solidarity. Behind every activity, every prize won, and every shared moment, there are faces, places, and organizations that chose to lend us a hand.
A huge thank you to the venues hosting us and allowing us to unpack our bags (and our knee pads!). By opening their doors, they provide our community with an essential space of freedom and kindness.
We want to salute the generosity of the companies and shops that have contributed to our prize pool. Thanks to their donations, your Puppy Games victories and raffle tickets will turn into wonderful surprises. Thank you for supporting the playful spirit of our culture!
Barks & Paws is also a story of family. A big thank you to our sister associations participating in the inter-assoc social, sharing our messages, and keeping solidarity alive every day. Your presence and support in communication are the pillars of this collective success.
Finally, the biggest thank you goes to you, the participants. Whether it’s your first time out as a puppy, you’re a curious newcomer, or a community regular—your presence, your smiles, and your kindness are the heartbeat of Barks & Paws Week.
Thank you for playing along, for daring to learn during our workshops, for taking part in discussions, and for bringing your unique energy to the pack. Without your trust and enthusiasm, these four days of festivities would just be an empty stage. You are the ones turning these moments into unforgettable memories.
