Paw-ther's Day: An Ottawa Paw Pantry Fundraiser
Join us on June 15 at Covered Bridge Brewing for Paw-ther's Day: a fundraiser for the Ottawa Paw Pantry! This dog-friendly event is open to everyone (not just dads!) and will be a great way to spend part of your Father's Day. Drop in anytime between 11 and 2 PM with your friends and family - including those with paws! - and enjoy some Sunday afternoon sunshine, great local beer from Covered Bridge, a food truck, door prizes, and a dog photo booth courtesy of PawParazzi Photography.
The Ottawa Paw Pantry is a non-profit charity that provides pet food assistance to qualifying low-income pet owners in times of need. We are volunteer run and rely 100% on community donations to keep our programs going and keep local pet owners with their pets through financial hardship. Thank you for your support!
Bowlful of Heart
It’s back! Bowlful of Heart is our annual holiday pet food drive and it’s about to kick off. This month-long event in December will help us replenish supplies of pet food.
Holiday Tails + Treats Auction
The time has come to think ahead to the holidays. Our auction is sure to have something for those on your list (naughty or nice!).
Thank you to our amazing donors who helped us in donating an auction item.

We'll be at our pals March Road Pet Food for another dazzling Fall/Halloween photoshoot. Bring your pets in costume (or not!) and have a keepsake.

Treat Catching Photoshoot
Our photographer Thomas from Boardman Lee Photography is back at it, but this time, we're doing something a little different.
You know those crazy faces your dog makes when it's (trying to) catch a treat, THAT'S what we're capturing.
Ottawa's Royal Pet
With the coronation over, it’s time to crown Ottawa’s very own Royal Pet! If you think you’ve got the city’s most precious pet, it’s time to get them the recognition they deserve.
