## About Charity Sports Tournaments

We believe helping animals should feel as good as it does right. Our charity sports tournaments mix friendly competition with real impact for shelter pups.

### What Happens at Our Tournaments

- You and a friend join as a team.  
- Each team gets a shelter puppy as a mascot for the day.  
- Every match win means treats or meals earned for your mascot pup – you'll see the impact right there, no waiting around.  
- Final winners get a trophy, but honestly, the real win is for the animals.

### Beyond the Game

- There’s a proper festival vibe - food stalls, discounts, and music.
- Not playing? Chill at the puppy cuddle zone or try quick games like Puppy Pong to grab instant goodies for the pups.
- Our events are more than just community sports fundraisers - they double up as shelter pet adoption events. Every puppy you meet is up for free adoption.

### Why We Do This

We're a social enterprise, and our tournaments are also fundraising pickleball competitions that send direct help to shelters - food, medical care, everything. And yeah, you might just fall for a puppy and take home a new friend. 

Ready to play for a cause, makkale (folks)? Come join us.

### My story

People always ask, 'Is Pawga a shelter?' Nope, not yet, but boy, do we wish! We’re just a bunch who couldn’t ignore streeties and overloaded shelters. So, 2020, we started India’s first pet yoga thing. Puppies, kittens, yoga mats, and a whole lotta heart. We’re the loud ones, the proud ones, fighting for every little furball. Sometimes it’s tough, but one happy adoption? Worth everything.

### My work

- **Our Events**: We host Puppy Yoga, Kitten Yoga, Art with Puppies, Puppy Parties, and Paddle for Paws pickleball all over India.
- **How it Works**: Come for a chill yoga or art session, cuddle shelter pups or kittens, and maybe meet your new best buddy. Ticket helps shelters.
- **No Experience Needed**: You don’t need to be a yogi or artist. Just show up, stretch, play, and have a good time for a good cause.
- **All-India Vibes**: From Chennai to Delhi, Ahmedabad to Bangalore. Bengaluru, neevu Pawga try maadidira? (Have you tried Pawga?).
- **Adopt, Don’t Shop**: We work with shelters to help streeties find homes. All animals at our events are up for free adoption.
