Become a Sponsor

Why should you be a sponsor for Lakeshore PAWS Pup Crawl 2024?

Lakeshore PAWS will be hosting the 11th annual Pup Crawl on Saturday, June 15th from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. in downtown Valparaiso. The event will kick off with a walk around the square followed by food, a beer garden, and live music. The event offers entertainment for people and pets of all ages while raising awareness and funds for homeless dogs in our community.

Lakeshore PAWS is a private 501c3 non-profit organization and does not receive any city, state, or federal funding. We operate entirely from charitable tax-deductible donations acquired through fundraising efforts such as the annual Pup Crawl. As a result, we have found homes for over 7,600 dogs since April 2011, a number that would have been unachievable if not for generous donors like you.
