Home For Good Dog Rescue “WoofStock” Festival
Home For Good Dog Rescue
Berkeley Heights-based Home For Good Dog Rescue recently held WoofStock 2021, a two-day, fun-filled music, craft and dog adoption festival at Brook Valley Farm on Loantaka Way in Chatham, which is on the Historic Register and dates back to 1853.
WoofStock was modeled after the Woodstock music festival that was also held on a farm back in 1969. More than one thousand dog lovers and their furry friends, along with dozens of dedicated volunteers, spent the weekend soaking in the perfect weather, dancing and enjoying great music, eating brick oven pizza, tacos, barbecue, hot dogs and other delicious fare. The soundtrack for the weekend was provided by popular New Jersey Bands Brian Kirk and the Jirks, The Nerds and Supermutt. Competitions were held for the dogs such as the longest ears and longest tail contests. Each day one dog was selected as Mr. or Ms. WoofStock. Many of those in attendance sat down with their dog for a great family portrait by renowned local photographer Jenn Mount.
The success of the event provided much-needed funds to enable Home For Good to continue their mission of saving dogs from high-kill shelters in the South. Watch for WoofStock 2022 coming next September.
About Home for Good Dog Rescue
Home for Good Dog Rescue is a 100% foster-based, non-profit 501(c)(3) dog rescue established in 2010 in Summit, New Jersey, with offices in Berkeley Heights. We socialize, care for, and provide rescue dogs with life-saving medical care at our Wellness Center in Aiken, South Carolina, transport them to New Jersey, and nurture them in our network of foster families while they await adoption into loving homes – giving them a second chance at life.
We have rescued over 9,500 dogs from deplorable and dangerous environments, including high-kill shelters, hoarding situations, and abusive conditions, such as in-breeding and puppy mills, neglect and abuse. We give hope and purpose to the dogs we save and the families who have been enriched through fostering and adoption. For more information visit homeforgooddogs.org.
