How It All Started

Haustier Events is driven by a desire to create events that are immersive and memorable, while also focused on giving back to the community by supporting animal rescues. The name “Haustier Events” was chosen because haustier is German for pet, and so it highlights the mission of the events.

From Books to Bonds

We are avid readers, consistently devouring books, sharing our thoughts and adding to each other’s TBR lists. As huge romance fans, we decided that, along with our annual Paws & Claws fantasy ball, we wanted to create a yearly romance book convention to bring together as many romance authors, narrators, businesses and readers as possible for a whole weekend of bookish fun.
