Family puppy yoga set for June 15 in Fort Lauderdale

Adoptable puppies will be part of the stretch, and the setup is built to keep things easy for families. The Humane Society of Broward County is hosting Family Puppy Yoga on June 15 at its Fort Lauderdale shelter, with class starts listed for 10:00 a.m. and noon, giving parents a simple choice between two sessions in the same event window.

The shelter is positioning the class as beginner-friendly and open to all ages and skill levels. Tickets are $35 per person, and the shelter asks for at least one parent or guardian for every two children, a clear sign that this is meant to work as a family outing rather than a serious studio class. Up to 30 participants can take part in each Puppy Yoga session, keeping the group small enough for the puppies to stay central to the experience.

The event will be held at the Humane Society of Broward County, 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312, with questions handled at 954-989-3977. The shelter describes the format as a mix of movement, stretching, mindfulness and puppy cuddles, with adorable, adoptable puppies roaming freely for snuggles, kisses and playful interaction. That makes the draw broader than exercise alone: the class gives families a chance to meet animals in a calm setting while also supporting the shelter’s work.

That shelter connection is the point. The Humane Society of Broward County says its mission is to build a compassionate community of animal advocates and bring animals and people together, and this program fits squarely into that goal. It is also part of a recurring series, with another Puppy Yoga class already listed for July 18, 2026, showing the June 15 session is one stop in a continuing wellness-and-adoption effort.

The broader adoption context gives the class extra weight. The shelter says its adoption fees include services such as spaying or neutering, flea and tick treatment, vaccinations and wellness checks, while adopters must be 21 or older. Its available pets page shows dozens of animals in care, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and ferrets. For families looking for a low-pressure way to introduce kids to puppy yoga, the June 15 session is set up as both an easy first class and a direct way to help homeless animals at the same time.
