Play Date with Pups

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Ages 21 and under
Autism Welcoming Center, Natick Mall
Calling all dog lovers! Join us for a relaxing and joy-filled afternoon at the Autism Welcoming Center during our Puppy Time Play Date. Families will have the opportunity to meet and interact with adorable service dogs while enjoying a calm, welcoming, sensory-friendly environment.
Bring your favorite book and cozy up with a pup for a special reading time experience. Guests can also enjoy fun dog-themed crafts, hands-on activities, and opportunities to connect with other families in the community.
We are excited to welcome NEADS service dogs in training along with their puppy raisers. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn, connect, and experience the comfort and companionship animals can bring.
As a special keepsake, each family will be able to adopt their very own plush puppy to take home.
Whether you love reading, crafting, puppies, or simply spending time in a warm and inclusive space, this event is sure to be a tail-wagging good time for all ages!
