Join the Young Friends of PAWS for the return of their signature event, Pours for PAWS, taking place on Wednesday, June 25, to benefit the lifesaving work of the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). Hosted at Positano Coast and building on the success of the last two years’ events, Pours for PAWS will feature a three-hour open bar with beer, wine, and cocktails; delicious vegetarian and vegan food; music by DJ Byrd; a wide-ranging silent auction featuring items from generous partners across the Philadelphia region; and more.

As the city’s largest animal rescue partner and provider of affordable veterinary care, PAWS saves thousands of Philadelphia’s most vulnerable animals each year — from sick and injured stray dogs and cats to fragile kittens and senior animals who need a second chance – and enables thousands of pets to remain part of the families who love them. Animal lovers age 21 and older are invited to attend Pours for PAWS and help power PAWS’ mission to make Philadelphia a no-kill city by supporting rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, foster programs, affordable vet care, pet pantry services, and more.

“Young Friends of PAWS is thrilled for the return of our signature event, Pours For PAWS,” says Gina Salvatore, co-chair of Young Friends of PAWS. “Thanks to the generosity of Positano Coast and our sponsors, we can’t wait to welcome animal lovers from across the Philadelphia region for an evening of delicious food, refreshing beverages, and fun, all in the name of supporting PAWS’ lifesaving mission. Here’s to making the 2025 Pours for PAWS our biggest event yet!”
