2nd Annual Chili Cook-Off

<div class="xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs">The Paws with Purpose Expo: a family-friendly outdoor event designed to strengthen philanthropy and support for animal serving organizations, and businesses that support our furr babies.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s">We will be showcasing the vital services, resources, and organizations that support the relationship between animals and the humans they love and serve. Hosted at The San Antonio Food Bank, this expo-style gathering will bring together animal welfare nonprofits, service animal organizations, therapeutic animal programs, and animal-supporting businesses under one umbrella.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s">The event combines educational presentations, interactive exhibits, and entertainment to create an engaging experience where attendees can discover new resources, connect with like-minded community members, and potentially find their next furry family member. This event addresses the growing recognition of animals&#8217; therapeutic and life-enhancing roles while supporting the ecosystem of organizations that make these connections possible.</div>

<p>If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.</p>


Puppies don't train themselves

<p>This is going to happen every time and incredibly fast. Please, the next time you have the thought, “I want a puppy!” replace the word “PUPPY” with “DOG.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If your excitement goes down, even the slightest amount, don’t get a puppy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The average lifespan for a dog is 12 years. The wondrous smell of puppy breath only last a few months. This means you have waaay more time owning a dog than a puppy. We frequently have puppies returned to us for a variety of reasons. Often this results in an extremely adoptable 8 week old puppy being returned a few months later as an 8 month old train-wreck.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And… if you just ‘honest to God’ love puppies and wish they never turned into dogs, we have a great option for you – you can foster puppies! You get to help a life in need, get all the fun that comes along with puppies, and never have to have a dog! WIN, WIN!!! Please visit our fostering page for more information.</p>
