We are so glad that you stand by Pawga to support animal welfare!

What is Pawga, anyway?

Pawga was started in 2020 to help shelter pets socialise, find a forever home, and also raise funds for the shelter. We pioneered puppy yoga in India and slowly introduced other experiences to help more people from different walks of life interact and experience the joy of shelter puppies.

What happens at Art with Puppies/Dogs at Pawga?

At Pawga’s Paint/Art with Puppies, we don’t just learn to draw and paint. You would be given all the art supplies from us and would be asked to paint based on mindful prompts designed specially for the event.

These prompts help to unearth your innermost feelings and thoughts to the surface of your canvas. Also, the best part is that the puppies/dogs from the shelters running around you would help break the ice.

But why on earth should I join Pawga?

Ummm, because we’re cool. Kiddding!!! (not really).

All the puppies or older dogs you see at Pawga are from your local animal shelter. They are all up for adoption, and the best part is that a portion of the tickets goes towards the welfare of animals at the shelter. In Chennai, we work with several Fosters/Shelters across the city.

Also, please note that there could be small puppies, big puppies, and older dogs too. We like ’em in all sizes, and you should too. These are the pets who are up for adoption at the shelter.

Why does any of this matter amidst all my existential crisis and joys?

Because sometimes you shouldn’t worry too much with ‘because’.

Because at some level, you know you need to contribute to your wellness and really take care of yourself. Art therapy at its simplest form with puppies might be a small way to help yourself.

Because these puppies/dogs don’t get the affection they need, and even if you can’t exactly know with their wagging tails, meeting them could be the best day of their life.

Also note that the event is for 60 minutes. You can come 15 minutes early to the start time (we recommend this) and leave 15-20 minutes late after the end time.

If you are convinced, come see for yourself in Chennai!
