Kitten Paws and Downward Dogs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit producing joyful puppy events that raise money for animal rescues and help adoptable puppies find homes. From puppy cuddle lounges and puppy yoga classes to corporate wellness events, private celebrations, and wedding puppy cuddles, every event stars real adoptable puppies from local rescue partners — never breeders.Our team has produced 100+ animal-assisted events since 2017 and raised more than $125,000 for rescue organizations, working with 35+ rescue partners along the way. Every ticket directly supports the rescue featured at that event, and yes — the puppies you snuggle are available for adoption.Want puppies at your next event, or want to bring our events to your city?
