St. Hubert’s Shelter Slumber Pawty
The event begins at noon on Saturday, April 5, and ends at noon on Sunday, April 6.
Participants, including staff, volunteers and supporters, will be paired with dogs or cats, sharing their experiences on social media to encourage adoptions. The event also offers a behind-the-scenes look at shelter operations.
It’s the perfect opportunity for animal lovers to get their furry friend fix while making a difference.
The fun doesn’t stop there, the Shelter Slumber Pawty has a variety of activities planned for the event. Activities include games, snacks and a puppy yoga session led by Tara Bernie of TB Yoga House in Morristown. At night, participants will sleep in kennels with the animals, reading bedtime stories before lights out.
St. Hubert’s aims to raise $50,000 to support its programs and animal care. The event is part of a larger effort involving over 50 animal welfare organizations worldwide. Freshpet and MetLife are sponsoring the local event.
