Lubbock library adds adoptable puppy yoga to summer lineup
Buddy Holly Plaza’s free puppy yoga will pair one-hour poses with adoptable dogs from Lubbock Animal Services on June 20.
The Lubbock Public Library is turning a summer calendar staple into something with a little more wag: Puppy Yoga in the Plaza will bring adoptable dogs to Buddy Holly Plaza for a free one-hour session. The class is set for Saturday, June 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at 1824 Crickets Ave. in Lubbock.
The event stands out because it is not just a wellness class, it is also an adoption-facing outing. Every dog in the session will be adoptable through Lubbock Animal Services, giving visitors a chance to meet shelter animals in a relaxed setting before deciding whether to take one home. For families, new residents, and anyone curious about doga without committing to a studio environment, the library-hosted format lowers both the price and the pressure.
Attendees should bring a chair or blanket, a small but useful detail that hints at the event’s casual setup. The city calendar lists the class as free, which makes it one of the easiest entries into puppy yoga this summer and a far gentler first step than a paid studio session. The plaza setting also gives the event a public, open-air feel that fits a Saturday morning outing more than a formal fitness class.
Puppy Yoga in the Plaza is part of a recurring Yoga in the Plaza series running through June 2026, with different instructors scheduled each week. Maryssa Jane led the June 6 class, Chanel Savage-Smith was scheduled for June 13, Julie Upton of YWCA will teach the puppy yoga session on June 20, and Lindsay Kerr is set for June 27. The June 20 class is promoted by Lubbock Public Library, Parks and Recreation, Buddy Holly Center, Lubbock Animal Services, and YWCA, a lineup that shows how broadly the city is using the series to pull in different parts of the community.
YWCA Lubbock says its mission is to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all, and its role in the June 20 class gives the event another civic layer beyond fitness and shelter outreach. By folding puppy yoga into a library roundup, the city has made the session easy to find, easy to afford, and easy to try, with adoptable dogs at the center of the draw.
