Puppy yoga fundraiser brings rescue dogs to Bay City Brewing

Rescue puppies will roll onto the mat at Bay City Brewing Co. on Hancock Street in San Diego’s Midway District on Saturday, June 20, when Kane’s K9s Rescue Puppy Yoga takes over the brewery from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. The event is listed as an all-ages, in-person class with doors opening at 10:45 a.m., free parking, and tickets starting at about $23.18. Bay City says the format is a 45-minute vinyasa flow with puppies from Kane’s K9 Animal Rescue, and 100% of profits go toward the dogs’ health and wellness.

That setup turns the class into more than a novelty workout. For people who want a lighter, less intimidating entry point into yoga, the brewery setting makes the whole thing feel open and social rather than studio-serious. It also gives rescue supporters a simple way to contribute without needing to visit a shelter first.

Kane’s K9s & Animal Rescue describes itself as a cat and dog rescue and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing animals that need help. That mission is what gives the event its real weight: the puppies are the draw, but the ticket sales are the engine. The fundraiser structure makes the class useful for people who want to do something tangible for animal welfare while still getting a playful, community-friendly yoga session.

The rescue already has a puppy-yoga footprint, with previous listings in 2025 and again in April 2026, which points to a recurring fundraising model rather than a one-off stunt. In a city where wellness events often compete for attention, that consistency matters. It suggests a format that works for the rescue, works for the venue, and gives first-timers an easy reason to show up.

Hello San Diego placed the June 20 class alongside other weekend wellness and entertainment picks, which fits the broader momentum around experience-driven yoga in San Diego. Bay City’s version lands squarely in that lane: a short, approachable flow, a relaxed brewery crowd, and rescue dogs at the center of it all. On Hancock Street, the appeal is simple and practical, stretch, meet adoptable puppies, and know the class is sending money back to animal care.
