Coral Springs got a rescue-focused puppy yoga fundraiser at YOUniversal Yoga on Wiles Road on Saturday, June 20, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The event paired Good Karma Pet Rescue with Glow Wellness and put adoptable puppies inside the studio for an all-levels yoga class, turning a regular weekend workout into a direct fundraiser for rescue dogs.

The setup was simple and practical: move through a beginner-friendly class, let the puppies roam the room, and leave time for hands-on interaction with the dogs while supporting an adoption mission. The event listing framed it as a Saturday-start reset built around movement, puppy cuddles and helping rescue pets find loving homes, which is exactly the kind of no-frills format that fits a local outing at 7682 Wiles Rd., Coral Springs, FL 33067.

YOUniversal Yoga gave the event an easy home base. The studio describes itself as a family-owned, Earth-friendly, people-friendly community yoga space, and its regular schedule includes hot yoga, vinyasa, meditation and beginners’ sessions. Its site lists a 4.9-star overall rating and 89 to 90 Google reviews, along with a drop-in class at $30 and a first-month unlimited special at $85, details that help place the fundraiser in a studio that already serves both regulars and first-timers.

Good Karma Pet Rescue brought the animal side of the event. The group says it is one of the largest nonprofit organizations serving South Florida and works with adoptable dogs and puppies across Fort Lauderdale, Broward, Miami, Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Lake Worth and Pompano Beach. That reach matters in a fundraiser like this because the yoga class was not just a novelty hangout, it was connected to a larger adoption pipeline already moving animals through the region.

The rescue’s local footprint is also visible in Pompano Beach, where Good Karma said Broward County gave it a $1-a-year lease in 2019 to operate the former county shelter at 3100 NW 19th Terrace. The group said that shelter was built to take 30 dogs and 40 cats a month from Broward County’s main shelter, while Broward County Animal Care says its rescue partners help care for sick or injured pets and place animals that do not find homes through the adoption center.

That made the June 20 class more than a feel-good workout in a familiar Coral Springs studio. It gave local yogis, families and rescue supporters a specific place on the summer calendar to show up, spend two hours with adoptable puppies and help move dogs a little closer to homes.
