Vendors

Local Dog Business?

set up where the dogs already are.

local dog business? we're an off-leash dog park and full bar on 10th street, and our events pull in a room full of dog people who showed up to spend the afternoon. if you make, sell, or do something for dogs, there's a table here for you.

A built-in crowd that comes to hang out

Most of our events are community days and fundraisers. People bring their dogs, grab a drink, and wander. You don’t have to fight for foot traffic, it’s already in the room, in a good mood, and easy to talk to. We keep the vendor list small on purpose so everyone gets seen.

  • who shows up: Local dog owners, regulars, and rescue folks, its relaxed, social, hang for a while group.
  • who we book: dog treats & bakery, apparel & accessories, art & portraits, grooming, training, photography, rescues & nonprofits.
  • the catch: There isn’t one. our dogs are vaccinated and friendly.

how it works

  1. Apply. fill out the form below. We want to know who you are, what you bring, which event, and how you’d like to pitch in.
  2. We review. We read every one and keep the list small. Applying isn’t a confirmed spot yet.
  3. We reach out. If it’s a yes, you’ll get an email with your event details.
  4. We lock it in. This is when payment comes up, we’ll be in touch to sort your contribution and confirm your spot. Nothing’s owed before then.
  5. Show up. Set up your table and meet a few dog people. We’ll tag and hype you too.

Three ways to chip in

Our events are community and fundraiser events, so every vendor pitches in one of three ways. You pick what works when you apply, and we confirm it together before the day.

  • flat $50 booth fee — one simple rate. for some events, part of it comes back as a bar tab.
  • 10% of your sales donated to the event’s cause. good for fundraisers.
  • a donated raffle prize for the event instead of a fee. easy and visible.

Apply to vend

Fill this out and we’ll take it from there. remember this is an application, not a confirmed spot. If it’s a fit, we’ll email you to confirm details and sort out payment.

    treat vendors, photographers or other vendors may require minimal dog access. there is one spot available for this per event.
