Sweet Treats & Second Chances
Come spend a sweet evening decorating adorable, pet-themed sugar cookies while helping give homeless animals a second chance at the lives they deserve!
PLEASE NOTE: EVERYONE AGE 5 AND OLDER MUST HAVE THEIR OWN TICKET.
Children under 5 are welcome to attend with a ticketed adult, but will not have their own cookie-decorating supplies or cookies.
Join Hoof Woof & Meow Animal Rescue and Blessed Little Kitchen for a fun, hands-on cookie decorating class where you’ll learn, create, laugh, and leave with three of your very own beautifully decorated treats.
And the sweetest part? For the final hour of the event, some of our adorable adoptable pets will be joining us for a special Meet & Greet! Come meet your potential new best friend, learn more about the animals looking for forever homes, and maybe fall in love with a furry face or two.
Best of all, every cookie you decorate helps make a difference for animals in need. Proceeds from this fundraiser will support Hoof Woof & Meow’s rescue efforts, helping provide foster care, transportation, veterinary care, medical treatment, and love for animals on their journey from homeless to home.
What to expect:
A hands-on animal-themed sugar cookie decorating class
Adorable animal-inspired cookies to decorate and take home
Guidance and instruction from Blessed Little Kitchen
A fun evening supporting a great cause
Adoptable pets to meet during the final hour
Plenty of sweet treats and even sweeter second chances!
Remember: Each guest age 5 and older needs their own ticket. Each ticket includes three cookies, decorating supplies, and instruction.
No cookie-decorating experience is needed. Just bring your creativity, your love for animals, and your sweet tooth!
Decorate a cookie. Meet a rescue pet. Help create a second chance.
We can’t wait to see you there!
