Every second Thursday of the month, Barker Street hosts a social event for dogs and their humans called "Yappy Hour." The gathering brings together
dogs of all breeds in a casual,
non-structured setting and raises
money for a local or national
pet-related charity.

Free dog treats are available as are free people treats for the humans.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for gatherings later in the year. Sponsorschoose the pet friendly charity which will be the recipient of the funds raised that evening. Contact Barker Street for details. 

February 2010 Yappy Hour

February marked the return of Houston Collie Rescue and Mary Courtade to Barker Street. On a cold, wet, wintry night, we were warm inside with Collies and Collie supporters. Sponsored by Jeanne Zeto and Mary, the evening raised $1835 and is now in the record books as the highest grossing Yappy Hour to date. Special thanks go out to Tracy Hopkins of Shannon Fine Jewelry in The Woodlands who donated five pairs of pearl earrings for one of the prizes. Also, Darlene Brandon from Chili’s Restaurant graciously donated the people treats.
 
Since it’s inception in 2008, Yappy Hour at Barker Street has raised over $12,000 for pet-related charities. So many dogs are grateful for your support.
