Want your dog to join in too?
Donate $5 to Columbus Humane, and your pup can pick out a toy to take home during the event.
Crafts for Canines
One of the most meaningful additions to this event is the kids education station hosted by Columbus Humane.
Families can enjoy dog-themed coloring pages and help create cozy rice warmers for pups recovering from surgery, giving kids a hands-on way to support local rescue animals.
This activation adds real emotional depth and makes the event feel bigger than a typical pet meetup.
Sip for a Cause All Month
Leading up to the event, Little Grand is featuring a charity cocktail throughout April, with a portion of proceeds supporting Columbus Humane.
So whether you stop in before the show or join us on April 19, every drink helps support animals in our community.
Bring your dog. Bring a donation. Bring the family.
We’ll see you at The Grand Dog Show.
