The event raises awareness about the critical issue of Guam’s stray dog population and provides resources for those looking to adopt, volunteer, or learn more about animal welfare. “Pet Fest is really a community event for people who love animals to come together, enjoy a day at the park with their furry friends. Also, just to really highlight the Boonie dogs in Guam,” said Le, the organizer of the event.
