Circus Paw Fest

Dogs and their owners are invited to a party raising money to support street dogs and cats.
Local charity Lucas Helps Dogs is holding the event at The Anchor and Hope on Winchester Street, Salisbury on Saturday 31st August 2024.
The circus themed Paw Fest will have two parts – afternoon one from 3.30pm to 7pm with stalls, bbq, dog show, live dog painting, doggy kissing booth, puppacinno stall, a huge stall with dog accessories and more. The evening part starting at 8pm will include an aerial circus show provided by Phoenix Aerial, DJ, raffle, auction, specially made cocktails, and more.
Charity Lucas Helps Dogs carries out spay, neuter and rabies vaccination clinics, along with emergency treatments to help the six million dogs living on the streets in Sri Lanka.
In the past year it sterilised and vaccinated well over 600 dogs and cats and funded emergency treatments for many animals and cancer treatment for 25. Over 150 dogs have been treated for painful skin conditions, the charity also carries out a feeding round for local dogs providing thousands of meals every month.
Founder Alena Warburton said: “We are so excited about this event. We held a successful Valentine’s event in February and this one will be bigger and better. We are really hoping lots of people and their dogs will turn out to support us. Every penny we raise is used to carry out our work in Sri Lanka.
“We have an employee and vet team on the ground who carry out our spay and neuter clinics, and the regular trips we make to carry out mass clinics are completely self-funded.
“It’s a real labour of love but these are such special dogs who live a life of misery on Sri Lanka’s dangerous roads.
“We really hope as many people and their dogs as possible will turn out to enjoy our Circus Paw Fest event and support a great cause.”
