At Paw Pals, we have one overarching goal: to provide the best care for your best friend. (It’s so important to us that we’ve included it in our logo!) But for us, that mission doesn’t just stop with our clients and our own furry friends. We believe that all furry friends deserve the best care possible. That’s why we’ve chosen a number of ways to engage with Northern Virginia’s pet-loving community – whether through donations and partnerships, pet-sponsorships, or community events that bring us all together. Paw Pals is committed to making our community a better, safer place for all pets. Read on to learn more about the organizations we support and how we engage with the pet-loving community.
Paw Pals in the Park
A Monthly Meetup Hosted by Paw Pals Pet Sitting
Paw Pals in the Park is a group of active dog owners that meets for on-leash walks to explore and enjoy our area parks. Not only will this provide exercise for you and your furry friend but it provides a place for socialization and the opportunity to meet new doggie friends.
During the warmer months, we typically aim to meet once a month at one of NoVa's many regional and national parks. Some of our most frequented parks include Bull Run Regional Park in Centreville, Ellanor C. Lawrence Park in Chantilly, and Manassas National Battlefield Park.
But wait... There's more! Some months, we switch things up and instead of hosting our typical walk event, we host a Paw Pals and a Pint event instead! Some of our most frequented breweries include The Farm Brewery at Broad Run and Eavesdrop Brewery. Either way, come prepared and ready for good company for both you and your paw pals!
Head on over to our Meetup page for more details and to RSVP for any upcoming events!
Upcoming Events
The Homeless Animal Rescue Team (HART)The Homeless Animal Rescue Team (HART) is a non-profit, all-volunteer animal welfare organization with 30 plus years of experience helping animals in northern Virginia and surrounding communities. Last year alone, they adopted 384 cats and 692 dogs. HART relies solely on private donations and could not continue their rescue mission without community support to help cover veterinary, food and other animal related expenses.
On Sunday, October 1, 2023, HART will be hosting Paws N' Pints at Mustang Sally Brewing in Chantilly, VA. This day will feature a 5K where leashed dogs are allowed to participate and a post party with a portion of sales from a Mustang Sally beer going directly to support HART.
Paw Pals is a proud sponsor of this event and invites you to join us in supporting Hart on October 1st!
