Dogs, bring your humans! Join 2ND Street District for Barkitecture Austin 2007 and enjoy a silent auction of designer dog houses, spectacular shopping & full dog-day afternoon of fun! This event
is free and open to the public!

Saturday, October 20th Noon – 5PM through 2nd Street District


30 of Austin’s best architects, builders and designers have been chosen to create extraordinary dog houses of varied designs to be auctioned off to benefit local animal rescue, welfare and advocacy groups.100% of all proceeds from this year’s silent auction will directly benefit Animal Trustees of Austin, Lucky Mutts, Austin Dog Rescue and Blue Dog Rescue. These non-profit, largely volunteer-run groups work to find forever homes for homeless animals, many of which would otherwise be euthanized at local shelters.
