Partner With Your Community

Event Requests

As a 100% donor-funded organization, we rely on the generosity and partnership of our community to keep our work going. We’re honored to be considered as a partner, beneficiary or inspiration for your event. Depending on what you’re planning, here’s how we can show up together.

Ways We Can Show Up Together

Bark Breaks

Bring adoptable puppies to your event for a 1-2 hour visit your guests won’t forget. Perfect for employee recognition events, corporate gatherings, staff conferences, or anytime your team needs a morale boost. $400 per hour for 3 puppies or $800 per hour for 6 puppies.

In-Kind or Item Collection Drive

AAWL always welcomes donations of supplies for our animals and the pet families we serve. If you’d like to host a collection drive, reach out and we’ll send you our marketing toolkit to get started.

Adoption Events

Adoption events are a wonderful way to connect our dogs with potential families. We’d love to participate, with a few things to keep in mind:

  • Events should have at least 250 attendees
  • Dog attendance depends on our current population. If we don’t have dogs suitable for the event environment, we may be unable to attend.

Tabling Events

We love connecting with our community at conferences, fairs, expos and festivals. AAWL can often provide staff or volunteers to attend and share information about our programs and services.

Fundraising Events

When our community chooses to raise funds in support of AAWL, we’re truly grateful. To ensure fairness and consistency across third-party fundraising events, our support is based on anticipated revenue or media value.
