Adoptable Dogs and Sunrise Yoga Unite at Golden Nugget’s ‘Poses for Paws’ Fundraiser on December 7

The Golden Nugget is set to transform into a peaceful wellness hub on December 7 as “Poses for Paws” invites locals to start their Sunday with an early-morning stretch, a calm mind, and a powerful mission. Running from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM, the event blends the soothing energy of an all-levels yoga class with the emotional pull of animal rescue, creating a feel-good gathering that promises to leave attendees both relaxed and inspired. Organizers say the goal is simple: support Animal Help Alliance in its ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable animals across Southern Nevada.

The class, led by Jacky Pagone of Yoga For Life LV, welcomes complete beginners and seasoned yogis alike. Participants will experience a rejuvenating morning flow in a serene setting just steps from downtown’s bustle, offering a refreshing way to unwind before the city fully wakes. The focus on accessibility makes the event especially compelling, creating a space where every attendee can participate comfortably regardless of skill level, age, or yoga experience.

Positioned within the wider “Poses for Paws” collection, the event has become a small but meaningful tradition for locals who want their wellness routines to give back. With proceeds directly benefiting Animal Help Alliance, attendees can feel confident that every stretch, breath, and moment on the mat contributes to lifesaving rescue work throughout the valley.

A Morning of Movement, Community, and Rescue

Event-goers can look forward to more than a typical yoga class. Alongside the 2.5-hour guided flow, the morning includes the chance to meet adoptable dogs hoping to find homes before the holiday season. These appearances add a heart-tugging layer to the festivities, reminding attendees exactly who benefits from their participation and donations. While the yoga session sets a calming tone, the presence of hopeful rescue dogs brings an emotional spark — and a real possibility of life-changing matches.

Raffle prizes will add a burst of excitement throughout the event, offering participants fun opportunities to win and contribute even more to the cause. Each ticket sold helps fuel Animal Help Alliance’s mission, lending additional support to veterinary care, rescue efforts, and the organization’s ongoing community outreach. Attendees often describe the combination of movement, philanthropy, and adoptable pets as uniquely uplifting, turning a simple morning event into a deeply rewarding community moment.

Families are welcome, with children under five admitted for free, making it an easy weekend outing for parents looking to introduce wellness habits to young kids. With a low ticket price of $23.18 — including a small fee — this community-minded event remains accessible while still generating meaningful aid. The organizers remind participants to bring proof of purchase for smooth check-in, ensuring they can settle into the experience without delay.

What Attendees Should Expect on Arrival

The event takes place at 129 East Fremont Street, offering a convenient and vibrant downtown location for both locals and visitors. The Golden Nugget’s setting provides a stunning backdrop for the class, pairing historic Las Vegas charm with the calming atmosphere needed for a mindful morning practice. Attendees are encouraged to arrive on time, check in at the yoga table, and prepare for a spacious, relaxed flow that sets a positive tone for the rest of the day.

Category organizers classify the gathering as a community and city event, emphasizing its inclusive nature as well as its focus on local impact. With a no-refund policy in place, participants can trust the proceeds remain fully dedicated to Animal Help Alliance’s rescue operations. Between the early start time, the adoptable pets, the raffle prizes, and the soothing yoga instruction, the event promises a heartfelt blend of fun and purpose.

Whether attendees join for the love of yoga, the desire to support a rescue group, or the hope of meeting a future four-legged family member, “Poses for Paws” offers a morning filled with connection, calm, and compassion. It stands as one of December’s most uplifting community events — proving once again that supporting animals in need can be as restorative as a deep breath at sunrise.
