Magical Paws Pet Therapy is a local non-profit organization which uses dogs to bring comfort, affection, laughter and joy to individuals at nursing homes, retirement homes, group homes, schools and workplaces.
Previous locations include Maison McCulloch Hospice, Genevra House, Laurentian University, Cambrian College and College Boreal, according to a press release.
Magical Paws Pet Therapy is comprised of around 55 volunteers and their dogs, who last year, donated over 7,000 hours of their time to this community initiative.
Woof Fest was introduced to not only to act as a major annual fundraiser for the non-profit but give Sudbury a much needed "festival for dogs," said the release.
