Help Support Austin's Most Paws-itively Rad Fundraiser
September 12, 9-2pm
Eleiko Sport, ATX
A retro-themed fundraiser benefiting Austin Pets Alive!
Think less serious fitness event and more big pet-loving community party—with an optional workout happening in the middle.
We’re inviting local creators, pet people and community members to help us get more people through the doors, raise more for APA!, and give adoptable pets some extra visibility.

Option 1
🐶 Come + bring your pet
Experience the event with us and bring your own pet along for the fun.
As our guest, you'll get a pass for all ticketed activities, a swag bag, and complimentary workout entry if you want to join.
We'd love your help sharing the event beforehand — and giving it some social love while you're there.
Option 2
❤️ Partner with an adoptable
We'll pair you with an adoptable pet attending with a dedicated volunteer. Hang out, create content, take them through the activities — and still explore the event yourself.
Before: Introduce your adoptable + invite your community to meet them
Day of: Share their personality, adventures + how they're doing
After:Full spotlight — we provide pro photos, profile + adoption info.
Can't make it but still want to support?
📱 Support Virtually
You don't have to attend to help shelter pets.
Share Sweat for Shelter Pets Event, help promote an adoptable pet, or do both — from wherever you are!
Every share reaches more people, raises more for APA!, and puts more eyes on pets looking for homes.
Why we're doing this
Making a difference together
Built on a love of pets.
Pet Obsessed People was built around a love of pets and giving back to the animals still waiting for their people. Sweat for Shelter Pets is my way of giving back more and highlighting pets in need.
We're looking for like-minded humans who want to use their platform, creativity or community to help us do some good.
