The 2025 Del Ray Dog Fest benefits Pawfectly Delicious Dog Treats, which provides adults with disabilities the opportunity to engage in meaningful work and job training in an inclusive environment that celebrates their varying talents and connects them with the community.
While not a rescue, their impact on the community is incredible. Opportunities for young adults with disabilities are still very limited. Pawfectly Delicious Dog Treats allows those young adults to engage in leadership, marketing, sales, baking and packaging all in support of dogs.
