Staff Report

Tuesday, April 18th, 2023

Valdosta Main Street is hosting its 2nd Annual Pup Crawl on Friday, April 28, in collaboration with Georgia Beer, Downtown Social, and The Southern Cellar beginning at 5 pm at Georgia Beer to celebrate Georgia Cities Week. The USA Rescue Team will bring pets to be adopted. Main Street will provide special merchandise to people who present a downtown business receipt or donate pet supplies. 

Valdosta Main Street Director Brandie Dame and Main Street Program Coordinator Ally Sealy created the event after their personal experience of adopting rescue pets. They wanted to host an event that would be enjoyable for people and their fur babies while supporting a great cause.

Over 200 people and their fur pals participated in Valdosta Main Street's first annual Pup Craw this past August. The event provides opportunities to bring people downtown.

"The pup crawl is a great way to entice citizens to embrace their love of animals while enjoying all that Downtown Valdosta has to offer," said Dame.
