RUN OR WALK: It's entirely an off-road experience! In recognition of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. It is our demonstration and commitment to enrichment for paws of all kinds. Limited number of in-person participants allowed; act now to secure your spot in the race!

For our second annual PawPals Endeavor we are offering more activities that are bound to be a spoooky good time for PawRents and PawPals! This year proceeds will go to Disruptive Endeavors Inc. (dba GetDisrupted.Org) and a selected partner organization (to be announced).

We are on a mission to provide a fuller and more enriching life for our PawPals - a source of joy and comfort for us PawRents. With your participation and help we can accomplish this task, keeping our eyes peeled, ears tuned, noses up, and paws forward to a better tomorrow with hoomankindss best pals. If we have learned anything, it is this: River, Aston, and Nova are not pets; they are family, members of our household, our ride-or-dies, our PawPals for life. Our transition into PawRents taught us that enrichment was an essential part for their development and well-being; from engaging in their training as a bonding strategy to encouraging socialization as a way to reveal their personalities and create independence. Our PawPals require dedication from us as much as they dedicate themselves to us.

We aim to provide a space where PawRents and PawPals can come together for a PawFect cause: to instill hope in us all and help save lives while also encouraging social interaction among our friends. The Passion of life shown through Affection, Loyalty, and Service for one another PawRents and PawPals alike.
