Austin Pulling For Pets

This one-day event features teams of ghosts and goblins (and pet lovers!) competing to pull a truck over 20 feet in the fastest time.

But speed isn’t the only thing that counts in this tournament – awards will be given out for best costumes, top individual and team fundraisers, and more.

Every dollar raised goes at Pulling for Pets to support Emancipet’s mission to make veterinary care affordable and accessible for everyone. Your life-changing support at this event goes directly to ensuring Austin pet owners have access to low-cost vet care. You can carry the weight, even if just for one day, for a person who feels like vet care is out of reach because of financial barriers.
