BROUGHT TO YOU BY:
Pieces of Jax: A Gallery Walk
WHEN: July 29, 2026 | 6:00PM
WHERE: dba Bar East Village
COST: 100% free community event! → 21+ only
What’s Happening: We’re celebrating the return of Jax — because in case you missed the headlines, my boy went missing for 20 heartbreaking hours on 7/11/26 and was found by a fellow canine with a nose that deserves an NYPD badge.
This gathering is all about joy after fear and the artists who helped honor Jax’s story. We’re showcasing commissioned pieces of him in multiple mediums, created by talented artists right here in our community.
Come for the love, stay for the art — and meet the creators who make our neighborhood shine.
Food and canine companions strongly encouraged. Let’s celebrate resilience, creativity, and the pups who keep our hearts beating.
Walk to Impact: A Pack Walk in Bushwick
WHEN: July 31, 2026 | 7:00PM
WHERE: Ollie’s Ice Cream & stuff | 158 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn
COST: 100% free community event!
What’s Happening: We’re walking our way into Impact — a joyful Pre‑Summit gathering filled with laughter, community, and wagging tails.
Enjoy free pup cups from Ollie’s Ice Cream & Stuff, our official Sweet Treats Sponsor for the Pawsitive Impact Summit.
We’re also giving away exclusive Pre‑Summit swag to the first 20 sign‑ups, plus professional photos captured by Aunt Hilda — everyone goes home with a photo keepsake that same evening.
We’ll make a fun pit stop at Bushwick Bark, another proud Summit partner, before ending our walk at Maria Hernandez Park.
Let’s kick off Summit season together — paws, people, y puro corazón.
Café y Chisme: A chill turn-down yappy hour meetup for pet parents
WHEN: August 4, 2026 | 6:00PM (Launch Date!)
WHERE: Boris & Horon | 195 Avenue A- East Village

What’s Happening: Tuesdays just got a whole lot spillier!
Join us on Tuesdays this August & September at 6:00 PM at Boris & Horton—NYC’s very first dog-friendly café! Let your pups roam and socialize (supervised!) while parents sip yappy hour specials, grab killer bites, and spill all the local tea.
FIRST WEEK’S CHISME: First Day Fails & Park Politics
Since we’re kicking off back-to-school season, we’re talking local dog park drama, crazy building board rules, and most embarrassing puppy class moments!
Drop your anonymous local tea or pup confessions in our “Chisme Box” at the door—we’ll read our favorites aloud!
LAUNCH NIGHT SPECIAL GUEST:
We’re launching with Malcolm Dill, educator & author of “Marvin’s First Day”!
Bring your fur babies for a live story time!
Fun Fact: Reading aloud to your pup builds a calming bond and conditions them to respond to soft tones during training.
BONUS: Aunt Hilda will be taking pro photos of your pups soaking in story time and you get to go home with photo keepsakes same day!
