Philadelphia puppy yoga brunch blends mimosas, rescue puppies and adoption fundraising

Penns Woods Winery is turning puppy yoga into a full brunch circuit on Sunday, June 28, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., with a morning that starts with a welcome mimosa, moves into a 30-minute class led by YogaSix Glen Mills and ends with brunch at White Dog Cafe Glen Mills. The event, called Paws, Poses & Brunch!, is being staged with Providence Animal Center and is built around adoptable puppies, a $10 donation for the shelter, free parking and an age limit of 21 and up.

The structure is what makes the event stand out. Penns Woods says tickets include the puppy yoga session, a complimentary mimosa station with Blanc de Blanc and juice options, and brunch at White Dog afterward, along with a second mimosa once the meal begins. Refunds are available up to three days before the date, which keeps the outing firmly in the reservation-and-plan-ahead category rather than a casual drop-in class. For people who want a dog-friendly-style weekend plan, the appeal is the sequence itself: toast, stretch, eat, then leave with a shelter connection built into the morning.

Penns Woods has already mapped the collaboration as a series, not a one-off. Beyond June 28, the winery lists additional 2026 puppy yoga dates for July 11, August 9, September 12 and October 18. Each bottle-to-go purchased after class adds another $2 donation to Providence Animal Center, giving the event a fundraising layer that sits alongside the social appeal. The shelter has also leaned into animal yoga elsewhere, including Yoga with Kittens & More at Francisvale on June 20, showing how this kind of programming has become part of its outreach playbook.

White Dog Cafe gives the partnership another layer of identity. Judy Wicks founded White Dog in January 1983, and the brand says its Glen Mills location is its newest, joining five neighborhood locations across Philadelphia, the Main Line, Glen Mills and Chester Springs. White Dog also ties its name to more than 40 years of local, seasonal, sustainable dining, which fits neatly with a morning built around community fundraising and rescue puppies. YogaSix Glen Mills, meanwhile, brings the class side of the equation, with six signature class types and heated yoga classes that make the puppy segment feel like a real studio session rather than a novelty stop.

That is the selling point of the whole package: a Saturday or Sunday morning that already has the shape of an outing, with mimosas at Penns Woods, brunch at White Dog and puppies in the middle.
