Gulf Coast Humane Society Annual Event: Pupilates

Pupilates

We are still smiling after our Pupilates event, and it’s all because of YOU.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every pup and parent who showed up, stretched, supported, and made this day so special. Your energy, generosity, and spirit truly helped us raise the “wroof” for an incredible cause.

A very special thank you to our amazing sponsors, Royal Canin, Club Pilates, and VEG ER, your support made this event possible, and we are so grateful to stand alongside partners who share our passion for the health and well-being of pets and the people who love them.

Because of this incredible community, we raised over $16,000 with proceeds from Pupilates directly supporting Gulf Coast Humane Society and our mission to provide care, compassion, and second chances for animals in need. This event was more than just a workout, it was a moment to come together, give back, and celebrate the powerful bond we share with our pets.

Safe to say… it was paws-itively unforgettable.

And we’re just getting started.

We are excited to invite you to our 2nd Annual PUPilates, happening Saturday, March 6th at 8:00 AM at Edison Mall. We can’t wait to see this tradition grow, bringing even more impact, more connection, and more wagging tails each year.

What You’ll Get With Registration

  • A FREE official Pupilates t-shirt
  • A swag bag courtesy of Edison Mall, featuring goodies from mall retailers, Club Pilates, Royal Canin, and select local vendors
  • A 4-foot leash provided by Royal Canin (4-foot leash maximum is required for all participating dogs)
  • Professional event photos by Real Tours to capture you and your pup in action!

To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone, all dogs must be on a 4-foot leash. If you don’t already have one, no worries — one will be provided for you at check-in.

Whether you come for the stretch, the community, or the cause, you’ll leave feeling stronger, inspired, and proud to support homeless pets.
