It is a fun day for dogs and their owners to get out and enjoy activities as well as see what products and services are available to their pets.

Melissa Lampugnano owns Jacksonville Business Connections and has been hosting this event for the last 12 years. “The purpose is to get the word out there and hopefully get some of these dogs adopted,” Lampugnano said.“I am here at Barkfest today to support the Florida Bulldog Rescue, we’re a non-profit and we got volunteers located throughout the state of Florida including here in Jacksonville, we’re trying to raise money to support the dogs that are coming in,” Atilano said.

They support English and French Bulldogs that have been given up or found on the streets. All proceeds go to rehabilitation and rehoming of the dogs.Jennifer Graham
