IMPORTANT LETTER OF GRATITUDE TO OUR COMMUNITY – FROM BOW-WOWS & MEOWS

​

It is with a mix of emotions that we reach out to you today, as we bid farewell to the Bow-Wows & Meows Pet Fair after an incredible 23-year journey, we are overwhelmed with immense gratitude and an outpouring of love from this remarkable community that made this cherished event a part of our lives.

From our humble beginnings, to becoming a beloved tradition, the Bow-Wows & Meows Pet Fair has been a labor of love, a celebration of the irreplaceable bond between people and their pets.  Together, we nurtured a vision of creating an event where the joy of finding forever homes for animals would be intertwined with a sense of community, compassion, and fun.

​

We are profoundly grateful to every one of you who supported, attended, and celebrated the Bow-Wows & Meows Pet Fair over the years.  Your presence, enthusiasm, and unwavering support have been the foundation of this incredible journey.

​

To all those that opened their hearts and homes by adopting a pet at the Bow-Wows & Meows Pet Fair, we extend our heartfelt gratitude.  Your decision to provide a loving environment for these animals has made our dream a reality.  With each adoption, you have transformed lives and filled them with joy, love, and companionship.  Your kindness has made an indelible mark, not only on the animals you embraced but on the hearts of many.  Your compassion and commitment have made a lasting impact and been the driving force behind the success of our event.

​

To the countless volunteers, sponsors, and organizations, we express our deepest gratitude for your selflessness, tireless efforts and generous contributions that have been instrumental in making the Bow-Wows & Meows Pet Fair an unforgettable experience.  Your commitment to our cause and your unwavering support have brought us closer to our shared goal of ensuring the well-being of animals in our community and beyond.  We could not have achieved all that we have without your invaluable support.

​

As we reflect upon the memories, friendships and cherished moments created throughout the years, we want to emphasize that the legacy of the Bow-Wows & Meows Pet Fair is one of love, compassion, and incredible power of community.  It is a testament to the beautiful bond we share with our animal companions and the profound impact they have on our lives.

​

While the Bow-Wows & Meows Pet Fair may be coming to a close, we encourage you to continue supporting local animal shelters, rescue organizations and initiatives.  There are still numerous ways to make a difference for our furry friends.  By adopting, fostering, networking, or donating, you can continue to be a beacon of hope for animals in need.

​

On behalf of the entire Bow-Wows & Meows Pet Fair team, we extend our deepest gratitude and love to each and every one of you.  Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey, for supporting us and for helping us make a difference.  The memories we have created together will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
