This party has it all. Choose the whole spread or select a portion of it.
Pet Adoption
We love partnering with a local animal shelter for a pet adoption day (Adopt don’t shop!), however, it can take a lot of time and staff resources to make it happen. So, we’ve done it with stuffed animals instead! Either give them away or suggest a donation amount and give the proceeds to a local animal shelter.
Pet Photo Booth
Pet Donation Station
Help a local shelter out with a pet supply donation station.
Cat Treats
Dog Treats
Party Favors
Toys, tennis balls, poo bags…
Referral Opportunity
Resident events are the puuurfect time to remind your residents of your fetching referral bonuses. Create a little referral station within the event as we’ve done.
PRO TIP: PARTNERSHIPS
You have a lot of paw power at your community that pet- friendly businesses would love to have. Approach the vets, groomers, pet stores, and pet treat businesses around your area and see if they would be willing to sponsor a paw bar at your community by donating some items if their information can be available near the station.
#3. A twisted pretzel bar
Make it snacky hour at your community with this beloved salty snack. Set out a few baskets with bags of various pretzels (savory and sweet) so your residents can grab some to-go.
You can also partner with a local bakery or pretzel company to serve freshly baked soft pretzels with dipping sauces.
