Puppies and a Movie!
Ever wanted to cuddle with a puppy while watching a movie? Now's your chance!
It's Christmas in July and we have some puppies who are ready to celebrate! We'll be showing a holiday movie and hosting a movie night with at least 6 hound-mix puppies as they prepare to get ready for adoption.
Pet Boarding: How, where, and what to look for
It's 10am, do you know where your dog is?
Well, we assume you do, but if your pup is at a boarding facility...how did you choose it? Are there standards with which boarding facilities must comply? (Hint: the answer is a shocking no!) Who is looking after your best friend when you can't?
We know that your furry companions mean the world to you, so we want to help you find just the right place for them. That's why we've invited Jess Ward, Operations Manager and Behaviorist at The Board Hound, to join us on Tuesday, July 31 at 6:30 PM to tell us what to look for in a doggy daycare or boarding facility, what questions to ask, and what should make you run for the door!

Grown-Up Movie Night…with Puppies!
PUPPIES AND TORNADOES AND SHARKS, oh my!
Time to get a little refresher from all of this rain...and we have some puppies who have been cooped up inside and are ready to play with YOU! We can't tell you exactly what movie we'll be showing but here are some clues: All the puppies are named after sharks and we've been inspired by the recent weather...so let's just say, it's gonna be fun and probably a little ridiculous. We'll have 6 puppies dressed in their shark outfits (for as long as they allow us to keep them on) as they prepare to get ready for adoption.
This event will be floor seating with some dog beds and limited chair seating. You can bring your own pillows and blankets to sit on as well (just please be aware that puppies do have accidents so don't bring anything you don't mind possibly getting dirty). Please feel free to bring your own food and drinks (just remember that there will be puppies roaming around who love to eat anything...before they tire and fall asleep in your lap of course). BYOB.
This is an event geared towards adults, but check out more events on awla.org/events for upcoming children's movie nights.
Tickets are $30 - click the sign up button above to register today before all of the puppy play is sold out!
