Woofles Pup Draft 2026 - Pittsburgh, PA

A Pittsburgh-first moment that the world will talk about. The World's First Ever Pup Draft! Right here in the heart of Pittsburgh.

On April 22, 2026 as our draft night begins, 64 exclusive pup-participants are ceremonially “called” in a fun-filled, high-energy moment, as families strut their pups through the entrance tunnel, as the fog rolls in. The crowd erupts as sparkling fountains burst to life, and one by one, each pup struts down the red carpet, tails wagging, families smiling, cameras flashing - creating a jaw-dropping entrance that makes every dog feel like a true draft-day superstar. One by one, their names are announced, their stories are shared, and they are welcomed into the spotlight - accepting their personalized custom team jersey.

After suiting-up in their team apparel, each pup will take the field and participate in friendly pup-competitive games as the crowd cheers on support. Each activity supports all dogs comfort levels, personalities and abilities to perform. No worries about having a shy pup. As long as they are socially friendly - they make the cut.

The cheers erupt with laughter, families glow with joy, and the crowd comes alive - together creating a spectacular, fun-filled experience unlike anything you've witnessed in person.

Each drafted dog will then become an official Woofles Compassion Ambassador that will appear in one future promotional activity - giving back to charity. Their image and story will be paired with a cause that will represent a movement rooted in compassion, inclusion, and giving back throughout Pittsburgh.

This isn’t just an event.

It’s a stage.

It’s a story.

And it all begins with 64 Woofles pups stepping into history together in 2026.
