Spring is the season of renewal, and what better way to refresh your wardrobe, home and spirit than by shopping for a cause? The SPCA Thrift Store invites you to Paws & Petals, a garden-inspired shopping event on April 14 from 6-8 p.m. This special evening is more than just a chance to discover unique thrift finds, it’s an opportunity to directly support the homeless animals at the SPCA Albrecht Center.

With every purchase, you’re helping provide food, shelter and medical care to animals in need. Whether you’re adding a pop of floral to your closet or picking out a vintage treasure for your home, your shopping makes a difference. As we unveil fresh seasonal merchandise, you’ll have the first pick of beautiful thrifted clothing, accessories and home décor.



Whether you’re drawn to pastel prints, whimsical garden vibes, or timeless vintage pieces, there’s something for every thrifter’s taste. And while there’s no official dress code, we’d love to see guests embrace the theme! So if floral prints, sundresses or garden hats bring you joy, wear them proudly! Beyond the shopping, Paws & Petals is all about enjoying a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Expect charming garden-themed décor, delightful refreshments, and the perfect opportunity to mingle with fellow animal lovers.

Raffles and door prizes: Every guest will receive one free raffle ticket upon arrival for a chance to win exciting prizes. Want to boost your luck? Additional raffle tickets will be available for purchase. Complimentary drinks and bites: Sip on a refreshing cocktail and enjoy delicious appetizers as you browse the store.

A cause worth supporting: 100% of event proceeds go directly toward helping homeless animals at the SPCA Albrecht Center. Your purchases ensure that dogs and cats in our care receive the love and medical attention they need while they wait for their forever homes. Advance tickets are just $10, available for purchase at the SPCA Thrift Store or online at LetLoveLive.

If you or your business are interested in partnering with us, we’d love to hear from you.
