The Porches for Pups Foundation is a passion project turned non-profit that Porches and Pastures Real Estate created to help make a positive difference in the homeless pet crisis. Donations to the Porches for Pups Foundation help fund food, temporary shelter, spaying and neutering costs, and other veterinary bills.
History
Porches for Pups was founded with the heartfelt mission of raising awareness for animal welfare and supporting local animal rescue organizations. Inspired by our beloved pup, Hanna, who filled our lives with joy and countless cherished memories, we wanted to give back to the animals who still need loving homes. Through this non-profit, we aim to not only shine a light on the important work of rescue organizations but also offer financial assistance to ensure they have the resources to continue their life-saving efforts.
Our Mission
The mission of Porches for Pups is to provide financial assistance to area animal shelters, animal adoption organizations, and animal rescue efforts to help with the prevention of cruelty to animals. Porches for Pups will bring awareness and support to the general public, relating to the need for the improvement of animal welfare in and around McIntosh County, Oklahoma.
BARKtoberfest
BARKtoberfest is the highlight of the year for Porches for Pups, and it’s the organization’s biggest fundraiser! This exciting, family-friendly event is designed to support local animal rescue organizations while bringing the community together for a day full of fun, festivities, and, of course, our four-legged friends. With BARKtoberfest, we aim to make a difference in the lives of rescue animals while offering something for everyone to enjoy.
Packed with activities, BARKtoberfest is a true celebration for both people and their pups. The event includes live music, carnival games, a kid’s pumpkin patch, bounce houses, food trucks, and local vendors–a day full of action for all ages! Whether you’re coming to adopt a new furry family member, participate in the festivities, or simply enjoy the community vibe, BARKtoberfest has something for everyone.
The heart of BARKtoberfest is its mission: raising funds to support the hard work of animal rescue organizations in our area. Every dollar raised goes towards helping these organizations with medical care, shelter, and adoption efforts, ensuring that animals in need get the second chance they deserve. By bringing together families, businesses, and animal lovers, BARKtoberfest fosters a sense of unity around a cause that touches all of our hearts.
It’s more than just a day of fun—it’s an opportunity to give back and make a lasting impact on the lives of rescue animals. Whether you’re a pet owner, a dog lover, or someone looking to support a great cause, BARKtoberfest is an event you won’t want to miss!
Through this community effort, we hope to continue Hanna’s legacy by making sure every pup has the opportunity to create lasting memories with a family of their own.
