15th Annual Paddle for Puppies

Join us on Sunday, August 9th, 2026, for the 15th Annual Paddle for Puppies! This community tradition brings dog lovers and paddlers together to raise critical funds for Austin Pets Alive!’s lifesaving Parvo Puppy Program.

Parvo is a highly contagious but entirely treatable virus. Thanks to APA!, hundreds of puppies get a second chance at life every year. 100% of the proceeds from this event go directly toward providing the intensive medical care these pups need to survive and thrive.

Watercraft Options: Single kayaks, double kayaks, canoes, SUPs (stand-up paddleboards), and RUFF SUPs.

Whether you bring your own watercraft or rent one from us, your participation helps give parvo-positive puppies a fighting chance. Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and let’s make the 15th anniversary our biggest year yet!
