Tables Needed for Our Upcoming Event!
We are gearing up for a fantastic upcoming event on September 11th and 12th, and our setup needs a little extra surface area!
If you have folding tables or display tables we could borrow for the event (or donate!), we would be incredibly grateful. Every extra table helps us display items and keep things organized for everyone coming out to support us.
Drop a comment below or send us a direct message if you have one we can borrow. Thank you so much for helping us get ready!

Did you know a hurt rabbit and a sore dog tell completely different stories?

Service Update: Business Phone Issues!

We want to apologize to anyone who has tried reaching out to us recently. We just discovered this afternoon that our business phone line has stopped ringing and is no longer sending us alerts or notifications for incoming calls and text messages.
For those who texted the business line looking for directions to the bonfire, we are so sorry! The messages were coming through, but we were not notified until manually opening the messaging app.
We are actively working to fix the issue and get everything running smoothly again. We will post another update as soon as the phone line is fully working.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while we sort this out!

Well, we survived our very first half-organized, half-chaotic Paws, Claws and Talons Foundation event!
We set out for a nice afternoon of networking at the park, and what did we get? A side order of setting up in a minor panic, timeline hiccups that we’re just calling “creative interpretation,” and signs that may or may not have been legible. You know, a totally typical day for three people who have never organized an entire event before!
Before we get too far, we also want to send a quick shoutout to anyone who has reached out to us via phone or email and left a message over the last couple of days. We have received them all, but with only three of us running around with not a lot of time, we're running a bit short on hands right now. We plan to immediately reach out and address every single message first thing on Monday, so please don't think for a second that we're ignoring or dismissing you!

Honestly, we wouldn't trade this experience for anything. A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for being so supportive, showing us so much grace, and having a good time despite our half-organized, half-chaotic setup. You are all the best kind of human (or pet) to have in our corner.
The good news? It was a learning experience at its finest with no serious complaints. We even have enough non-perishable supplies left over that we are totally doing this again!
Mark your calendars because we’ll be hosting another bonfire in October as our final event of 2026, and we'll take another glorious swing at it. We’re promising 100% of the fun, and... well, maybe slightly less chaos with the signs. But we make no guarantees!
See you then!
