Are you sick and tired of endless swiping, or do you want to reawaken your rusty flirting instincts? At the pet fair’s speed-dating course, the search for a partner turns into an obstacle course. At various stations, courtship behavior, attempts to make a move, and social instincts are put to the test. Here, you’ll get to sniff around, flirt, and maybe even find the love of a lifetime.

Whether you’re a Golden Retriever, a Black Cat, or the Frog Prince: all those stranded on the Island of the Lonely, Lonely Dog Walkers, and those who can already hear the spring love birds chirping are invited.
