For the third year, Lowcountry Dog Magazine and Valiant Animal Rescue have been privileged and honored to be a part of Rockabillaque. As a media sponsor, Lowcountry Dog works to let its readers know of dog friendly events and this event is not only dog friendly but also raises funds for Valiant Animal Rescue, of which Lowcountry Dog Publisher, Brian Foster serves as a board member. The festival raised over $3,000 for the rescue group in 2018 and we hope that 2019 will be even bigger. This year we will be having our Doggie and Me Contest in which we award a contestant with a calendar shoot for our yearly calendar. See details below for that contest as well as others!
