M. Dumas and Sons is bringing back its beloved tradition for Southeastern Wildlife Expo (SEWE) weekend — Puppies in the Window.

On Friday, Feb. 14, the storefront windows of Dumas’ downtown location will feature 10 to 20 playful pups from Cindy Lou’s Sanctuary. On Saturday, Feb. 15, pups from Friends of Berkeley Animal Center will take their place.

All puppies at the event will be available for adoption. Fun fact: Past events have seen a 100% adoption rate. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for this year too.

If you’re not ready to adopt but still want to support, stop by the puppy photo and kissing booth on Saturday, Feb. 15, to “smooch a pooch” for a donation. Tickets for a 50/50 raffle will also be sold to raise funds for Berkeley Animal Center. As part of the center’s “Have a Heart, Save a Heart” initiative, personalized hearts will be available for purchase for $5, with proceeds benefiting heartworm treatment.
