Are you tired? Stressed out? Craving some cuddle therapy with a lapful of kittens or puppies? Portland Animal Rescue Connection invites you to relax and recharge at Kittens, Puppies + Beer at Breakside Slabtown in Portland!

At this heartwarming, all-ages event, guests can snuggle adorable rescued puppies and kittens from two incredible, local animal rescues: Sacred Pawz and The Boring Safe Haven. Fall in love? You’ll have the opportunity to submit an adoption application right on the spot. Enhance your relaxation with a beer and some bites from Breakside’s extensive menu.

All proceeds from snuggle sessions, along with 10% of the day’s beer sales, directly benefit the three featured nonprofit organizations. Snuggles are available for a $5 minimum donation per person for five minutes, payable by cash, credit card, or Apple Pay.

Important Notes:

Snuggle sessions are first-come, first-served. To ensure we can accommodate you and your group, we recommend arriving near the event start time of 3 PM — a change from our usual start at 1 PM. Thank you for understanding!
