Sing-A-Long Brunch!
Valentine’s Day just got a whole lot more fun. Join us at Grain Theory for Singles Sing-Along Brunch — a lively, low-pressure Valentine’s Day event benefiting All Kind Animal Initiative. You do not have to be single to attend, and you definitely don’t have to sing (though you’re welcome to).
Enjoy brunch, $5 mimosas, and a soundtrack packed with Broadway favorites, pop hits, and throwback classics spun by DJ June 2 the Moon.
Guests will receive color-coded wristbands on arrival: pink if you’re open to mingling, blue if you’re just here for the vibes, food, and supporting a great cause. No guessing, no awkwardness — just good music, good company, and a Valentine’s Day done your own way.
Best of all, 100% of entry donations support All Kind and the animals we serve. So, whether you’re singing along or simply soaking it all in, your presence helps support the lifesaving work we do every day for animals in our community.
Puppy & Kitten Shower
Tiny Tails, Big Needs — Puppy & Kitten Season Is Almost Here!
The babies are coming, and we’re getting ready the best way we know how — with a Puppy & Kitten Baby Shower! 🍼🐾
As puppy and kitten season ramps up, our shelves empty fast and the need grows even faster. This fundraiser helps us stock up on the essentials our tiniest arrivals rely on every single day.
From bottles and formula to blankets, toys, and all the little things that make a big difference, your support helps give these vulnerable babies the healthy, loving start they deserve.
Whether you donate, shop our wish list, or simply help spread the word, you’re playing a huge role in caring for the youngest faces that come through our doors. Keep an eye out for ways to participate and help us shower our puppies and kittens with everything they need to grow, thrive, and find their forever homes.
