MobilityDog is excited to invite the community to the A.R.F! event at the 2025 Poodle Palooza, a unique celebration that emphasizes accessibility, empowerment, and fun for people with disabilities and the elderly. The event promises a day full of connection, education, and excitement, offering a chance to experience the importance of mainstreaming disabilities while bringing together individuals of all abilities to enjoy inclusive activities.
A.R.F!, which stands for Accessibility, Reference, and Fair Fun-filled Event, is packed with engaging opportunities for everyone. Attendees can meet and greet Service Dog Teams and Service Pups-in-Training, enjoy a ride on hand-pedal tricycles, explore user-friendly spaces designed for all, and dive into creative activities such as art-making. The event will also feature the popular Fat Boys and Sure Good Soft Serve Ice Cream Trucks, adding a sweet touch to a day full of learning and adventure.
As a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing FUNctional Independence for people with disabilities and the elderly through service dogs, education, and empowerment, MobilityDog is thrilled to bring this impactful event to life. A.R.F! is designed to not only celebrate the achievements of individuals with disabilities but also to foster an inclusive environment where all can thrive.
"Thanks to my experience at the No Limit Wall in 2024, I now have the opportunity to rock climb twice a month. I continue to love ringing the bell at the top of the climbing walls!" shares MobilityDog’s founder. This event embodies the spirit of growth and progress, bringing together people who are committed to supporting and empowering one another.
The Poodle Palooza is more than just fun—it’s about making a meaningful impact. It’s a chance for the community to learn, celebrate, and create lasting memories, all while discovering innovative tools for increasing independence and accessibility.
Join MobilityDog, Beckett the Service Dog, and the entire team for a day of inspiration, exploration, and connection. Together, we will celebrate mobility, inclusion, and empowerment at A.R.F! in the heart of Poodle Palooza.
