Puppy Parade with JFCS & Sholom

Sunday, October 26 | 1:30 – 3:00 PM
Knollwood Place Apartments, 3630 Phillips Pkwy, St Louis Park, MN 55426

Bring your pup (all sizes welcome!) and join us for a parade of paws, tails, and smiles!

JFCS is teaming up with Sholom to bring joy and pet therapy to older adults living at Ackerberg Sholom West Campus in St. Louis Park. This is a family-friendly event. Every volunteer will receive a free blue JFCS in Action t-shirt to wear and keep.

We’ll split up into groups and “parade” through the campus, visiting residents in each building and sharing lots of tail-wagging happiness.

What to Bring:

• Copy of your pup’s vaccination records
• Baggies for outside and incase of accidents
• A handful of treats for your furry friend

Meeting details will be shared with registered participants.

Ways to Get Involved in JFCS Puppy Parades:

• Interested in volunteering with our group on Oct. 26? Sign up here.
• Can’t make it on Oct. 26, but want to join the JFCS Puppy Parade Team a future date? We plan to continue this initiative quarterly, so fill out this puppy parade interest form and we’ll keep you posted as more dates become available.

 Why Participate:

Brighten someone’s day, make new friends (furry and human), volunteer with your whole family, and experience the simple joy of providing pet therapy firsthand (no previous pet therapy experience or certification needed!).
