Join us in celebration of our 20th anniversary year in rescue, a fun filled day for all!

Puptoberfest is a rain or shine family and dog friendly, super fun event and EHR’s trademarked annual fundraising event. The original purpose remains the same - a reunion for our adopted dogs & volunteers, and over the years it has grown to be that and also a huge community event. Over 7,000 attendees, adoptable dogs and cats , 60+ vendors, 10 food trucks, live band, kid and dog activities, games, 50/50, Tricky Tray, Terrie Carr and WDHA Radio – all who believe in the no-kill philosophy that no dog or cat deserves to die simply because it does not have a home. Leashed dogs allowed, but NO RETRACTABLE LEASHES please.​​​
