Puppy yoga fundraiser in Antioch supports local animal services
Puppy yoga in Antioch drew a Sunday 11am crowd, with a portion of proceeds going to Antioch Animal Services to support adoptions.
Puppy yoga in Antioch turned a Sunday class into a fundraiser for Antioch Animal Services, with a portion of the proceeds set aside to help shelter animals get adopted. Patch listed the event for July 19 in Antioch, California, and credited the community post to Tammy Smith.
Antioch Friends of Animal Services promoted the same 11am start and described itself as a local, all-volunteer nonprofit that supports Antioch Animal Shelter animals. The group said it is celebrating 45 years of commitment to shelter animals, and that its support includes funding spay/neuter costs. Its promotion tied the class directly to the shelter mission, saying a portion of the proceeds would be donated to Antioch Animal Services to aid in getting animals adopted. The posted details centered on the puppy yoga fundraiser itself rather than a separate adoptable-dog showcase.
That direct shelter link is a big reason puppy yoga keeps working as a local fundraising format. The class gives people an easy, social way to show up, then turns the novelty into cash for a named animal-services cause. The same idea has been used elsewhere, including a Phoenix fundraiser from Valley of the Sun Giant Schnauzer Rescue that paired Doga with Michelle Tani and a $20 donation, with proceeds going to rescue dogs.
For Antioch, the hook stayed close to home. Antioch Friends of Animal Services also noted that Antioch Animal Services was open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., giving attendees a clear next step after the class if they wanted to follow up on shelter support. The Sunday event kept the formula simple: puppies, yoga, and a direct donation path to the local animal services office.
