Puppies, Paws & Purpose
Dog Adoption Event & Community Fundraiser
ADOPT. LOVE. SUPPORT.
Together, we make a difference one paw at a time.
About the Event
Join us for Puppies, Paws & Purpose, hosted by Jaye’s Best Days. Spend the afternoon meeting adorable adoptable dogs while supporting local animal shelters and rescue organizations.
Whether you’re looking to adopt your next best friend or simply want to enjoy a fun afternoon with family, friends, and fellow animal lovers, there’s something for everyone. Admission is free. Bring your family, invite your friends, and help us make a difference for dogs looking for loving homes.
More Than an Event
Puppies, Paws & Purpose takes place during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, a month that carries special meaning for Jaye’s Best Days.
Jaye lived with Stage 4 ovarian cancer, and this event is another way we continue what she asked us to do: help others live out more of their best days. This September, as we bring our community together to support animals in need, we also honor Jaye and join the effort to Turn the Town Teal for ovarian cancer awareness.
