ZenDog Hosts Puppy Yoga with Adoptable Puppies to Benefit Acadiana Animal Aid

ZenDog staged a beginner-friendly Puppy Yoga session on March 3, 2026 that featured adoptable puppies from Acadiana Animal Aid and raised funds for the Louisiana shelter. Organizers sold spots through Eventbrite and asked attendees to bring their own yoga mat; promotional materials emphasized a gentle class experience with adoptable pups joining the floor practice.

Promotional notices for the event included an Instagram-style blurb used in the listing: "Join us for gentle yoga, playful adoptable puppies, and a chance to support animals in your community. Every wag, stretch, and cuddle helps." The same event materials encouraged quick registration, noting limited capacity on the Eventbrite page, and reminded families that "if you plan to come and bring your child, each person must have a ticket."

Materials connected to the session named two possible locations. One event page listed 1002 Albertson Pkwy, Broussard, LA 70518 as the location, while other promotional copy identified Giles Subaru Lafayette as the host site and described that business as having a dog-washing station and an on-site dog park. Organizers' event notices did not include a ticket price in the text provided to the public; the Eventbrite listing was cited as the place to purchase admission but the published excerpts did not display cost or refund details.

Acadiana Animal Aid framed the partnership as part of its long-running rescue and transport work. AAA describes itself as "the region's leader in animal transport, adoption, and education" and says, "We provide a safe place to land for animals at risk of euthanasia before they take off to their adoptive homes." Materials highlighted AAA's 50-year history and noted that in 2023 the organization helped nearly 2,000 cats and dogs through local and out-of-state adoptions and transport, a program AAA connects to efforts to reduce Louisiana’s high shelter euthanasia rates.

On-site logistics emphasized volunteer support and a playful, family-friendly tone. Event copy guaranteed "plenty of puppy kisses!!!" and noted that volunteers and puppies were ready for participants to interact during the gentle yoga flow. Organizers instructed attendees to bring personal yoga mats and to secure individual tickets for every person planning to attend.

ZenDog’s community calendar that accompanied the event listing also showed other local programming such as a Pack Walk at Moncus Park (Feb 8), Puppy Kindergarten in Broussard (Feb 21), and a Pack Walk at Acadiana Park (Feb 21), underscoring the studio’s ongoing local outreach. Organizers described the Puppy Yoga session primarily as a fundraiser, with promotional language stating that proceeds would be used to support Acadiana Animal Aid’s shelter animals.
