“A Dog with a Mission” collaborated with a well-known open-air marketplace in Āgenskalns, Riga to organize the first ever “WOOFSTOCK”.
This event will always have a special place in our hearts because here we officially announced our organization, and introduced our future project ideas and our team to everyone.
Dogs of all shapes and sizes were welcomed to join the event; no entrance fee was charged.
Around 80 dog owners and their dogs attended the event to see and hear different lectures on various subjects. Some of them included:
Choosing the right breed for you and your lifestyle,
Ensuring a safe and friendly environment in families with dogs and small children,
How to train your dog,
How to safely transport your dog in a car, etc.
Officers from the K-9 unit visited the event with their specially trained police dogs for an exemplary performance, dog trainers shared some valuable advice, and a dog obedience contest took place for everyone who was willing to participate.
Meanwhile, the marketplace was open for different activities:

• interaction with therapy dogs,
• dog toy swapping,
• vendors were selling dog treats, toys, and accessories,
• artists did portraits of dogs,
• a photo booth was available to cherish the memory of “WOOFSTOCK”.
