Dog Days 2018, Dog in front of American beautyberry

We love those wagging tails and slobbery tongues, so we’ve carved out a day for paws + plants. Grab your canine bestie and head our way for Dog Days, June 4, 2023. There’ll be dog yoga, pets for adoption and much more!

Humans: regular admission (members get in free)
Dogs: $5 per pup (free for members)

Guests can:

  • Enjoy a canine-friendly yoga classes with Austin Doga in the Family Garden. (Pre-registration is required. Sign up for the 9 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. session.)  
  • Take advantage of adorable photo opportunities, courtesy of our event sponsor, Tito’s – Vodka for Dog People.  
  • Head to our Library, where kids can read books to the therapy dogs from Divine Canines. (No non-therapy dogs in the Library, please.) 
  • Meet a few pooches looking for their forever homes during Austin Animal Center’s adoption event in our Great Hall. Can’t resist taking one home? All adopted dogs will receive an adoption kit, thanks to our event sponsor, Tito’s – Vodka for Dog People.
  • Order your drink of choice from Wildflower Café’s pop-up (or should we say pup-up) bar in the Courtyard.
  • Grab a free sample of eco-friendly dog food from The Conscious Pet, and more!
