River North Design District will host a Pup Crawl & Cat Walk to benefit PAWS Chicago on April 1.

The River North Design District (RNDD) announces the inaugural River North Pup Crawl & Cat Walk April 1 from 5-8pm. The walk is comprised of 9 locations featuring 9 designers who will be creating unique auction items for pets—think dog beds, pet clothes, cat condos and more!

The walk’s philanthropic partner is PAWS Chicago, the city’s largest No Kill animal shelter, which will receive a portion of proceeds. Guests are invited to stroll through the River North Design District showrooms and bid on their favorite auction items. One hundred percent of auction proceeds benefit PAWS Chicago, which will have animals available for adoption at each of our locations.

This event is not open to guest pets. Each showroom will have a signature cocktail and an amuse-bouche. Libations courtesy of Tito’s Handmade Vodka and special beer pairings courtesy of Anheuser-Busch including Wolf Pup Session IPA.

The walk is $35 and open to the public. (https://e.givesmart.com/events/pQN/) Tickets must be purchased in advance. Event check-in will be held at Oscar Isberian Rugs (210 W. Kinzie St.). Guests will be required to wear wrist bands and comply with the RNDD COVID protocol.
