The Big Woof Festival is proud to announce MyPetsQR as the official sponsor of the PAWS4you Parade of Hope, one of the most emotional and inspiring moments of the weekend. Taking place January 17–18, 2026 at Regatta Park in Coconut Grove, the Parade of Hope will spotlight adoptable dogs and beloved senior pups from PAWS4you Rescue as they march proudly through the festival, capturing hearts and inspiring future adoptions.
The PAWS4you Parade of Hope is a joyful celebration featuring dogs of all sizes and personalities – from tiny tail-waggers to big, lovable goofballs – each parading alongside their handlers to music, cheers, and enthusiastic applause. The parade creates unforgettable moments as festival-goers meet dogs searching for their forever homes and experience the powerful connection that makes adoption so special.
“The Parade of Hope represents everything The Big Woof Festival stands for—second chances, community, and unconditional love,” said Carlos Blanco, Managing Partner of The Big Woof Festival. “We are incredibly grateful to MyPetsQR for sponsoring this meaningful event and helping us shine a light on these incredible dogs and the lifesaving work PAWS4you does every day.”
MyPetsQR, a leader in smart pet identification and recovery solutions, is sponsoring the Parade of Hope to support pet safety, rescue awareness, and responsible pet ownership. Their partnership reinforces the shared mission of keeping pets protected while helping more dogs find loving homes.
“We are honored to sponsor the PAWS4you Parade of Hope and celebrate the resilience and spirit of rescue dogs,” said Gary R Markham, CEO of MyPetsQR. “Every dog deserves a safe, happy life, and we’re proud to support an event that brings visibility, joy, and hope to pets waiting for their forever families.”
The parade will feature music, crowd participation, and countless photo opportunities, creating an atmosphere filled with celebration and emotion. More than just a parade, the PAWS4you Parade of Hope serves as a moving reminder of the impact adoption can have – changing lives for both dogs and the people who love them.
The Big Woof Festival benefits PAWS4you Rescue, a Miami-based nonprofit dedicated to saving pets in need and reducing shelter overcrowding across Miami-Dade County. With thousands of families expected to attend, the festival combines entertainment, education, and impact, creating a weekend that is both meaningful and unforgettable.
