About this Event
Welcome to the second annual Pupchella!
Bring your pup to Chasin’ Tails and enjoy games, activities and a festival atmosphere. Enjoy live music, a pup cup from our Pawristas, play some games together and maybe make some new friends. Your entry ticket gets you a welcome package at our Bark Bar and access to all of the entertainment and games. There will also be a silent auction and raffle with awesome prizes from local businesses, breweries and other things that dogs and people love. Dress up with your pup in your best festival attire and enter our Pupchella Pageant!
All money raised for Pupchella 2024 will go to the Evelyn Shanahan Endowment Fund for Creative Play, part of the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation.
This fund honours a special little girl whose favourite things were music, dancing, dogs and parties. So we created....Pupchella!

- games and activities for dogs and people (kids too!)
What is the Evelyn Shanahan Endowment Fund for Creative Play?
Evelyn Shanahan was a sweet and hilarious little girl who spent a lot of her 9 years at Alberta Children’s Hospital (ACH). Through frequent and sometimes long hospitalizations, she lived her life with enthusiasm. Singing and dancing with the music therapists at the hospital always provided a most welcome break!
When she passed away in the Fall of 2022, her parents created the Evelyn Shanahan Endowment Fund for Creative Play with generous donations from her friends and family. The fund provides ongoing yearly funding to support the music therapy program. The music therapy program at ACH is entirely donor funded and interacts with children thousands of times each year, bringing joy, encouraging social development and supporting kids to be themselves even in the most difficult circumstances.
Evelyn's dogs, Bee & Baxter, hope to see you there!
