Dogtown South Africa will be hosting their fun Slumber Pawty again this year, to raise funds and awareness for their shelter dogs.

 

Pretoria, South Africa (26 March 2024) – The Dogtown South Africa team is excited to be hosting another ‘Slumber Pawty’ in 2024 after last year’s success. Braving rain and chilly nights, people snuggled up with the shelter dogs to help raise funds for their care.

Based in Pretoria, Dogtown SA is perfectly situated to make an impact in Northern Gauteng. They have several facilities that cater to the varied needs of rescues; from a specialised rehabilitation centre that focuses on behavioural issues, to the retirement village that houses their senior dogs. Dogtown has a team of 10 full-time certified trainers and behaviourists that work with the animals in their care.

The Slumber Pawty is a fun way for people to engage with the animals at the shelter, while raising awareness for their adoption.

“Have you got what it takes to rough it at the shelter for 24 hours. To help us be the beacon on light for abandoned dogs?

Remember how much fun it was to gather for a slumber party when you were younger? Staying up late, eating junk food, playing silly games, and hanging out with your buddies? Now imagine doing all that and more with your favourite shelter animals. That’s right! On Saturday, April 6th we are hosting a 24-Hour Shelter Slumber Pawty at Dogtown South Africa and you’re invited!

The International Shelter Slumber Pawty is a collaborative fundraising event that brings together shelters from across the world to help raise funds and awareness for shelter pets. Amazing animal lovers (like yourself) will spend 24 hours at a shelter; eating, sleeping and pawtying with shelter pets while raising money for their favourite shelter.”

The shelter is inviting people to join them on the 6th of April 2024. All you need to know to get involved can be found below:

  • A commitment to spend 24 hours at the shelter beginning at 10h00 on 6 April 2024 and ending at 10h00 on 7 April 2024. Dogtown will provide meals, support, fun and more fun!
  • Promote the Pawty and ask friends, family, co-workers, etc. to donate to the Pawty using Dogtown online platform. We will provide tons of support to help you fundraise!
