Bark & Build Doghouse Showcase and Auction

Construction companies from across the Southern Interior have been challenged to design and build one of a kind doghouses, each showcasing their unique style, craftsmanship, and imagination. From cozy cabins and modern masterpieces to bold, creative concepts, no two builds are alike. Spend the afternoon exploring the showcase, meeting the teams behind the builds, and enjoying a lively community event featuring local vendors, artisans, food trucks, interactive activities, and fun photo opportunities for the whole family. Whether you're shopping for your dog, your kids, or yourself, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. At the heart of the event is our silent auction, where every custom doghouse will be auctioned to the highest bidder. One hundred percent of the silent auction proceeds will go directly to Paws It Forward Dog Rescue, helping provide care, shelter, and second chances for dogs in need. Whether you're searching for the perfect doghouse, looking for a fun afternoon with the family, or simply want to support an incredible local cause, Bark & Build is an event you won't want to miss.
