Dog Yard Bar, Seattle
Thursday, December 1, 7-8:30 p.m.; registration required
Your dog may not understand the questions but he’s trying his best. Get your crew together for Dog Yard Bar’s monthly trivia, and paws crossed that one of the questions is, “Who’s a good boy?”. Don’t forget to reserve your table and upload pup’s vet records before you go! Dogs mutts either have a membership or purchase a day pass before the event.
Ruston Waterfront Market, Ruston
Saturday, December 3, 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.; registration required
Fluffy’s got a long wish list this year so she’s gonna need some face time with Santa Paws. Buy her some time and a photo with the man himself at Angel Dog Photography’s Holiday Photos with Santa Paws at the Ruston Waterfront Market. Plus, this gift is a real two-fer; all proceeds will benefit Three Little Pitties Rescue.
Dog Yard Bar, Seattle
Saturday, December 3, 5-9 p.m.; reservations recommended
Whether you did all your shopping on Bark Friday or you’re just starting now, find everything you need at Dog Yard Bar’s Holiday Night Barket. Humans get in for free and holiday-wear is strongly encouraged. Dogs are subject to standard entry fees and rules so sniff out all the details before you go.
Renton Community Center Campus, Renton
Sunday, December 4, 9:15-11 a.m.; registration required
If you just remembered that your 2022 New Year’s resolution was to get more steps in… welp, it’s never too late to start. Whether you choose to run, jog, or walk the K9 Candy Cane 5K, do it along the beautiful (and paved) Cedar River Trail in Renton with your bestie. If doing athletic things also makes you feel generous, they’re hosting a pet food drive to help animals in need!
Alderwood Mall, Lynnwood
Monday, December 5, 4-7 p.m.; reservations required
This one’s on a Monday, but we all know the days get kind of fuzzy when we’re at the end of the year. Plus Santa’s still checking his list twice, so it’s not too late for floof to show what a good girl she’s been. Reserve your spot to meet Santa at Alderwood Mall’s Pet Nights with Santa and get ready to strike a pose!
Trying to gift yourself a new bestie this holiday?
The best gift this year may not be one you can wrap; if you’re looking to add a new dog to your family, check out this adoption event!
Seattle Animal Shelter
- We don’t know of any dogs who can read, but Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation’s adoption event at Northgate Mall’s Barnes & Noble is probably your best chance at finding one. From 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday, December 3, meet some of Seattle’s cutest adoptable animals. Make sure to look around the store because any purchase made with a Bookfair voucher (including in the B&N Café) will be donated back to the animals!
