Animal lovers – join Fayetteville Animal Protection Society's 11th Annual Woofstock on Oct. 4th, from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., at the picturesque Cape Fear Botanical Garden, 536 N Eastern Blvd. You do not want to miss this event that showcases the incredible bond between humans and canines. It promises to be a true haven that offers a day filled with excitement, entertainment, and unparalleled canine camaraderie.
Woofstock is more than just a dog show. It promises that from the moment you step into the garden, you will be immersed in a world where dogs are the true stars.
Jackie Peery is the Executive Director at Fayetteville Animal Protection Society, and shares that every ticket sold, every raffle entry, and every auction bid goes directly to supporting the homeless cats and dogs in their care, giving them the love and medical attention they need until they find their forever homes.
Peery has been the Executive Director of FAPS since 2013 and adds, “My passion lies in helping those who cannot help themselves. It fills my heart with joy to witness animals transform from their worst to their best days while under our care until they’re ready for their forever homes. Being a part of that transformation is truly heartwarming.”
Woofstock stands as one of FAPS's largest fundraisers – helping raise vital funds for the area's only no-kill, nonprofit animal shelter. FAPS has been saving lives and providing a safe haven for homeless animals for more than 40 years, thanks to the generous support of individuals and businesses. As the only licensed no-kill shelter in the region, they heavily rely on donations to continue life-saving work.
Attendees will enjoy an evening filled with delicious dinner options, refreshing drinks, and live performances from the incredible bands 80 Unleashed and The Zack Guinn Band. Plus, thanks to generous sponsors, attendees will leave with fabulous swag. Please note that this event is exclusively for adults aged 21 and over due to safety considerations related to large crowds and nighttime festivities; unfortunately, pets cannot be accommodated.
This year FAPS will host a silent auction featuring a 50/50 cash raffle, and even if you cannot make it in person, participating in these activities is an excellent way to support the mission.

But the true magic of Woofstock lies in the sense of community it fosters. Dog owners from all walks of life come together to revel in their shared passion, creating an atmosphere of pure, unadulterated happiness. Whether you are looking to make new furry friends or soak up the infectious energy, this event will leave an indelible mark on your heart.
