Bringing People & Pups Together With Purpose
Pawsitive Futures believes community connection can create better outcomes for dogs and the people who love them.
As we build PawsList and grow our community partner network, we plan to share dog-centered events that bring together rescues, shelters, pet professionals, dog-friendly businesses, and local families across the DMV.
Our events page is designed to highlight upcoming community events, partner events, educational workshops, resource fairs, adoption awareness events, fundraising socials, and Bark & Sip community gatherings.
Whether you are hosting a dog-friendly event, rescue fundraiser, pet education workshop, community resource fair, or local partner gathering, you can submit your event information for review.
