For two days, Attendees will be able to participate in recreational, cultural and educational activities designed to strengthen responsible coexistence with companion animals and promote their protection.

One of the main attractions will be the big adoption day, where dogs and cats rescued from abandonment or abuse will hope to find a new home full of affection and care.

The festival will also feature the Entrepreneurship Fair of the IDPYBA Allies Network, made up of animal rights groups and local businesses that work for animal welfare. Every purchase made at this fair will directly support the work of those who dedicate their time and effort to protecting the most vulnerable animals.

In addition, the event will offer workshops, talks and educational activities for the whole family, focused on promoting respect for all living beings and promote citizen culture around the responsible care of animals in the capital.

As a complement, the IDPYBA will also participate in the “Un día Guau 2025” event, an initiative promoted by Germina, Responder and Colsubsidio, which will take place on Sunday, November 2 at Parque Piso Blanco (Carrera 113 #83A–14). This activity will offer free veterinary consultations for families in strata 1, 2 and 3, in addition to educational talks, adoption spaces and a sample of products from the Allies Network.

Through these actions, the IDPYBA invites citizens to join the cause of love without conditions: adopting, caring for and protecting is the best way to transform lives.
