Bring Your Dog to Puppy Yoga + Brunch with BVSPCA — July 18

Not every great outing happens in a parking lot full of horsepower some of the best ones are all heart. On Saturday, July 18, the Brandywine Valley SPCA teams up with YogaSix for Puppy Yoga + Brunch at Harvest Seasonal Grill, 549 Wilmington Pike, Glen Mills, PA, running 9:45 AM to 12:00 PM. It's yoga on the patio surrounded by adoptable BVSPCA puppies, followed by brunch a feel-good Saturday that gives back.

Here's the honest heads-up, straight from the event's own note: adoptable BVSPCA puppies on site this one's about meeting THEIR dogs! In other words, this is a day to meet the shelter's pups, not necessarily to bring your own. It's $65 all-inclusive, with $25 of every ticket going straight to the shelter, and reservations are required through Resy spots are limited and they fill up. If you've ever thought about adding a co-pilot to the family, an event like this is a lovely, low-pressure way to say hello to dogs who are looking for their person.

Why we love it (car folks included)

At Sniff & Shift we're a dog-treat brand rooted in car culture, but our whole reason for being is dogs living their best lives and that starts with the ones still waiting for a home. A morning that raises money for BVSPCA while people stretch, laugh, and get tackled by puppies is our kind of Saturday. Whether you come as a future adopter or just a supporter, you're helping shelter dogs.

Planning tips

• Reserve first. This is ticketed and capped book through Resy before you plan the rest of your day, because walk-ins aren't the vibe here.
• Read the room on bringing your own dog. Since the event centers on adoptable puppies, check with the host before assuming your dog should tag along. If they say to leave your pup home this time, that's the kind co-pilot move and never leave a dog waiting in a parked car in July while you attend.
• Dress to flow. Comfortable layers, a mat if they ask you to bring one, and water for yourself the patio warms up by late morning.
• Bring treats for the drive, not the class. If your own dog is riding along for a walk afterward, our freeze-dried dog treats are single-ingredient and mess-free great for rewarding calm car manners on the way home. (Always ask before offering treats to shelter puppies; they're on their own care plans.)

You'll find the full details time, address, pricing, and how to reserve on the event listing here.

This is a curated listing from public sources, and ticketed events can change or sell out. Confirm the details and reserve with the host before you go. Then show up ready to stretch, snuggle a few puppies, and do a little good for the dogs still waiting on their forever co-pilot seat.
