Proceeds from the event benefit participating pet rescue organizations, including: Shih Tzus and Furbabies, Grateful Goldens Rescue, Greyhounds Pets of America – Charleston, SC, Carolina Coonhound Rescue, Pet Helpers, Water’s Edge Animal Rescue, Lowcountry Lab Rescue and King Charles Cavalier Rescue.

Dogtoberfest was established in 2008 to increase exposure for local rescue organizations and as a way to educate Kiawah, Seabrook and Johns island residents on pet rescue and proper pet care. The event has since moved to the Freshfields Village shopping and dining complex and expanded to include a charity wine tasting.
