If you attended the ARVC Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo (OHCE) in Knoxville, Tenn. last year, you’ll very likely remember a very popular feature called “Paws for a Break” where conference attendees were able to take a break from their sessions to cuddle some adorable pups. They were provided by a local animal shelter, the Young-Williams Animal Center, and a few lucky ones even found their forever homes with ARVC members.

“Paws for a Break” was so well-received by attendees that we’re bringing it back for this year’s virtual OHCE2020 on November 2-5. Here’s how it will work. You’ll be able to see a slideshow of pups and other pets that have been rescued by ARVC staff, watch some heartwarming adoption videos from TheDodo.com and visit the “Paws For A Break” booth at the virtual Expo where you can take a break from the show to enjoy some virtual cuddles.

So plan to take time during the conference to “Paws for A Break.” It’s sure to put a smile on your face and who knows? You may even be inspired to open your heart and your home to a pup or other pet from a rescue shelter in your area.
