Our Story
What is Sudbury Woof Fest ?
Woof Fest is a joyful celebration made just for dogs and the humans who love them. From wagging tails and sloppy kisses to happy paws and big smiles, it’s all about celebrating the dog-loving lifestyle and the incredible bond we share with our furry best friends.
It’s a day packed with fun, connection, and community—where dogs aren’t just welcome, they’re the stars of the show! Don’t have a dog? No problem! Everyone who loves dogs is invited to join the fun.
But Woof Fest isn’t just fun and games. It’s the only fundraiser for our Magical Paws Pet Therapy Program, helping cover essential operational costs and liability insurance. Every bark, tail wag, and happy cuddle helps us keep spreading unconditional love and comfort to those who need it most.
Come for the fun. Stay for the cuddles. Leave knowing you’ve made the world a little brighter—one paw at a time!
Magical Paws Pet Therapy
Since 2011, Magical Paws has been spreading paw-sitive vibes in Sudbury! Each month, our volunteer handler-and-animal teams bring love, laughter, and furry cuddles to 21 local facilities for seniors in long-term care and retirement living.
Beyond seniors, we also brighten the days of students, staff, and employees in schools, colleges, and businesses—and you can catch us in Sturgeon Falls at Au Chateau every week!
Wherever there’s a need, we’re committed to serving the community, making a positive difference one visit, one paw, and one smile at a time.
Why Pet Therapy Matters
Magical Paws recognizes a strong and growing community need for pet therapy. Animals offer unconditional love, acceptance, and companionship—often without judgment or expectation. Their presence can reduce stress, ease loneliness, and bring joy in moments when it is needed most.
Our Motto:
Magical Paws
Giving unconditional love to all those they touch
