Q
Why did the name change from Kingwood Barktoberfest?
The 8-year-old festival was originally held in the month of October, which is sometimes too warm for many of the breeds that attend the event. Moving the festival to November allowed for more ideal weather conditions and the new name is much more representative of what the festival has become.
Q
Is Kingwood Barkfest a rescue organization?
No. Kingwood Barkfest is not an animal rescue organization or shelter. We do not house, place, rehome or foster animals. We are simply a Texas organization that seeks to enrich the local community by organizing an annual pet festival to raise funds and awareness for homeless and abused animals.
