Our October Mixer at Napa Yard was a huge success, bringing together Napa dog lovers, community supporters, and animal advocates for an evening of fun and connection. Events like this are a great way to get involved with local causes and learn how to support nonprofits like Napa Humane.
Napa Yard’s dog-friendly venue set the perfect stage for guests and their furry companions to relax and unwind. Attendees enjoyed Napa Yard’s specially crafted cocktails, the Paw-sitively Perfect Mule and Waggin Tails Fizz Mocktail, with all proceeds benefiting Napa Humane.
Q&A with Napa Humane’s Dog Training Expert
A highlight of the evening was the engaging Q&A with Alyssa Vincent, Napa Humane’s Pet Education Manager. Alyssa shared insights into Napa Humane’s behavioral dog training program, helping pet owners build stronger, more positive relationships with their dogs. Attendees received tips and strategies for tackling common pet behavior challenges and were able to submit their questions beforehand.
Community connections and exciting raffle prizes
Beyond the educational moments, guests had plenty of time to mingle, share their own pet stories, and participate in an exciting raffle. The prizes were fantastic, including adorable Halloween-themed gift sets donated by Target Napa (Soscol), a Brunch for Two donated by Copia, a Boo Basket for both human and pet donated by board member Chelsea Reilley, and Napa Humane dog training gift certificates from Napa Humane’s Board of Directors. These contributions made the evening even more exciting, giving participants fun ways to support a cause close to their hearts.
