Come Join the Pet Culture Festival... Dongmyung University College of Companion Animals Hosts First "Dongsup Anabada Pet Festival"

"Student-led, Community-shared"

Come to the Anabada Pet Festival!

Dongmyung University will host a special pet culture event, the "1st Dongsup Anabada Pet Festival," together with the local community at the on-campus dog playground "Dongsup" on December 12.

This event is being organized as part of the Busan Regional Innovation-led University Support System (RISE) project, with the aim of opening up university infrastructure to the community and sharing a sustainable pet culture.

With the theme of "Anabada" (Save, Share, Exchange, and Reuse), the festival will feature a variety of content, including booths for sharing and exchanging pet supplies, special lectures by animal behavior experts, recreational activities with dogs, welcome kits, and on-site experience programs. Students will directly plan and operate the event, making it a meaningful social contribution program in collaboration with the local community.

The festival will be held for around 100 participants, including local residents and students from the College of Companion Animals. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about proper pet etiquette and participate in environmental protection activities that can be practiced in daily life. In addition, there will be interactive programs open to both pet owners and non-owners to help foster a safe and enjoyable pet culture for everyone.

Professor Kim Dokyung, Dean of the College of Companion Animals, stated, "The Dongsup Anabada Pet Festival is a representative example of a 'shared campus' opened to the community by the university, and it is significant in strengthening students' practical skills and establishing a pet culture in the region." He added, "We will continue to expand pet education and cultural programs that grow together with the community."

The event will take place on December 12 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Citizens who wish to participate can register their donation items on a first-come, first-served basis at the event site on the day of the festival.
