Join us for the 2021 VIRTUAL Dog-A-Thon!

Every dollar raised makes a lifesaving difference for animals who rely on us for a second chance.

Whether it’s providing an animal with rehabilitation from cruelty and neglect, helping a family adopt a new pet or returning a companion to their owner, your participation helps make lifesaving work possible. You will also strengthen the crucial programs and services we provide to our community, such as low-cost/free spay and neuter and pet food for families in need.

In the coming year, the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County will care for nearly 10,000 animals in need! By joining Dog-A-Thon, you’ll help give each one a second chance they deserve.

Yoga at Lakewold Gardens @ Lakewold Gardens

Jun 27 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

In this busy and noisy world, finding space for peace, quiet, and connection can be a challenge. Like spending time in nature, yoga can foster peace, boost our mood, mental health, and emotional wellbeing, and nurture feelings of connection and unity.

On a grassy lawn encircled by champion trees, enjoy a Slow Flow that incorporates grounding postures with meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) to connect to the harmonious rhythms of nature.

Summer Yoga classes are for all levels of experience. No yoga mat or yoga clothes required. Dress comfortably and bring a towel if you don’t have a yoga mat or don’t want to get yours dirty.
