Paws & Claus
November 14 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
The 13th Annual Paws & Claus event will take place on Saturday, November 14, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Woofie’s Ashburn-Leesburg, located at 44200 Waxpool Road in Ashburn, Virginia. This year’s event once again features professional holiday portraits by award-winning pet photographer Ellen Zangla and will benefit the Humane Society of Loudoun County.
The day-long fundraiser also includes local vendors, raffle baskets, and family-friendly holiday activities. Woofie’s has set a goal to raise $10,000 to support ongoing veterinary care for animals taken in by the Humane Society of Loudoun County.
The event also coincides with Woofie’s 22nd anniversary and its national “Pour It Forward” campaign, a year-long initiative that celebrates the company’s growth from a local dog-walking business into a trusted nationwide brand. Through Pour It Forward, Woofie’s franchise owners across the country are marking the milestone by supporting local causes that strengthen the bond between pets, families, and their communities.
“Paws & Claus captures everything Woofie’s stands for,” said Leslie Barron, Co-Founder of Woofie’s and Co-Owner of Woofie’s Ashburn-Leesburg. “It’s a joyful day filled with community, pets, and purpose.”
