Our Pawga Journey: Events with a Purpose
We are Pawga, India’s first pet-inclusive social enterprise. This is a look into our events where yoga, art, and sports meet rescue puppies, all working toward one goal: finding them their forever homes.
This is Paddle for Paws. We combine the thrill of a pickleball tournament with the joy of helping shelter animals. Teams play, puppies get treats, and everyone goes home a winner, especially the pups.
It's not just about the main event. It's about the small, unforgettable moments, like this participant capturing a picture of a curious puppy during our art session. Every interaction helps a shelter animal feel loved.
This is what the love of a shelter pet feels like. During our puppy yoga sessions, the pups are free to roam, cuddle, and nap on your mat. It's pure, stress-relieving joy for you and vital socialization for them.
This is the ultimate win. A participant at our Kolkata event found her forever friend. Our events are experiential adoption drives, creating the perfect space for people and puppies to connect and fall in love.
Get ready to Paddle for Paws. Our event posters give you a glimpse of the high-energy, fun-filled day we have planned. It's a full festival with sports, puppies, food, and fundraising all in one.
The proof is in the numbers. In just four years, with your incredible support, we have helped find homes for 123 animals and raised over 19 lakhs for our partner shelters. This is the impact we create together.
A gentle paw-shake that says it all. These small connections are what our events are built on. It's a simple, powerful reminder of the trust and love these animals are ready to give.
Hear it directly from our community. Actress Ramya Subramanian shares her surreal and heartwarming experience at a Pawga session in Chennai, encouraging everyone to consider adopting one of these beautiful indie pups.
About Featured
Every event you see here, whether it’s a pickleball match or a yoga session, is an active adoption drive. The puppies joining you are from local shelters and are looking for their forever families. When you book a spot, you aren't just paying for an activity; you’re directly funding the care of these animals and giving them the visibility they need to get adopted.
It’s Not Just About the Cuddles
At Pawga, we’ve always been about more than just fun. Since 2020, we’ve been using unconventional events—like puppy yoga, art sessions, and our 'Paddle for Paws' pickleball tournaments—to bridge the gap between people and the shelter pets who need them most.
What Happens at Our Events?
When you join us, you’re stepping into a space that’s part social club, part adoption drive. We partner with local shelters to bring pups into relaxed environments. Whether you’re on a yoga mat or a pickleball court, these puppies are right there with you. It’s socialization for them and pure stress-relief for you.
Real Impact, Real Results
We keep it transparent. A portion of every ticket goes directly back to our shelter partners to cover food and medical care. We handle the process checks, and our team is there to guide you through adoption if you fall in love with a participant. We’ve helped over 120 animals find homes and raised over 19 lakhs for partner shelters across India.
Come for the Fun, Stay for the Cause
You don’t need to be a pro at yoga or sports. Our events are beginner-friendly, high-energy, and completely focused on the well-being of the animals. If you’re looking to do something different this weekend while supporting a cause that actually matters, come join the Pawga fam.
