Get Ready for a Barkin’ Good Time at the North Gong Dog Day!

We’ve got something that’s going to make your tails wag with excitement. Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 23rd, because the North Gong Dog Day is back, and it’s going to be pawsitively amazing!

A day for the dogs (and their humans!)

Hosted by Pound Paws and the iconic North Gong Hotel, this event is all about celebrating our four-legged friends and raising awareness for pet adoption. The North Gong Hotel will transform into a doggy wonderland, taking over the entire venue and carpark for a day filled with fur-tastic activities.

A mission close to our hearts

The North Gong Dog Day is part of the Pound Paws Dog Day series, aimed at raising awareness about pet adoption. “We join forces with a variety of dog rescue groups from the NSW region, further enhancing the opportunities for pets to find their forever loving homes,” says Brittany Bloomer, the founder of Pound Paws.

So, what's on the agenda?

Get ready for a day packed with fun! Explore pet market stalls offering everything from doggy fashion to organic treats. There’ll be live music from local artists, a Rescue Dog Adoption Parade, and even a Puppy Paw-casso Art Station where your pup can unleash their inner artist.

Treats for the tummy

Our furry friends won’t be left out of the feasting, thanks to Amanda’s Homemade Dog Treats. Think doggy beer, snacks, and even some paw-secco for the more sophisticated pets. So you can enjoy a drink or two without any guilt!

No Dog? No problem!

If you’re yet to find your fur-ever friend, this is your chance! Various dog rescue groups will be there with adorable dogs ready for adoption.

Show off your pooch

Does your dog have a special trick or a cute costume? Let them shine on stage and win some fantastic prizes. Our VIP Judging Panel includes some familiar faces like Jack Miller from Married At First Sight 2022, and our very own Sheree Clark from The Fold Illawarra.

Don't miss out!

The event kicks off at 12 pm, and the first guests will receive a special KONG Gift Bag filled with toys and treats. Entry is free, but make sure to register your attendance here.

A community affair

“The North Gong Hotel takes great pride in its ongoing support of pet adoption,” says Thomas, the North Gong Hotel Manager. “This event has become a testament to the amazing and supportive community we are fortunate to be a part of.”

So, whether you’re a dog owner or just a dog lover, join us at the North Gong Hotel for a day that promises to be an unforgettable, barkin’ good time! For more deets, head over to our event listing.

See you there, Illawarra!
