Makers to the Rescue is a one-day community market and fundraiser bringing together local artisans, animal lovers, and good food—all in support of Verona Street Animal Society – VSAS is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting Rochester Animal Services in helping pets and their owners in our community. Their mission includes keeping pets safe, strengthening the human-animal bond, and saving lives—through programs that help both shelter animals and those in foster care.
Hosted at The Old Farm Cafe, this free-entry event features handmade goods for pets and people, interactive experiences, and multiple ways to give back while enjoying a relaxed afternoon out.

*A curated lineup of local, pet- and animal-centric vendors offering artwork, custom pet portraits, treats, accessories, and gifts
*Animal-themed flash tattoos and tarot readings
*Chair massage
*A raffle filled with people- and pet-friendly prizes, with all proceeds benefiting Verona Street Animal Society
*Food and specialty beverages available from The Old Farm Cafe
Whether you’re shopping for your four-legged best friend, looking for art inspired by animals, or just want to support a local cause that truly matters, Makers to the Rescue is a feel-good way to spend your day.
