EVENT INFO:
Mission Paw-looza
Saturday, May 16, 2026, 10 am-2 pm
Mission Animal Hospital
10100 Viking Drive, Eden Prairie, MN
"Barking" Lot Carnival
Mission Paw-looza is our favorite kind of celebration: Wagging tails, happy people, and a whole lot of heart.
This community-wide, pet-friendly event brings together animal lovers, Mission Animal Hospital supporters, and their furry companions for a day of fun, connection, and purpose. Guests can enjoy local vendors, activities for pets and people, treats, games, and plenty of opportunities to meet fellow dog (and cat!) lovers.
Most importantly, Mission Paw-looza supports Mission Animal Hospital’s work to ensure pets receive the care they need, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances. Every laugh, paw shake, and tail wag helps us keep care accessible for the pets who need it most.
PETS ARE FAMILY
PETS ARE FAMILY
More than 7 in 10 Americans live paycheck to paycheck and veterinary care often remains out of reach for their furry loved-ones.

ACCESSIBLE CARE
1/3rd of pets need emergency veterinary care each year. When veterinary care is inaccessible, pet owners may be faced with heartbreaking decisions.

Stage Schedule
Dunk Tank: Take aim and make a splash! Step up, throw your best pitch, and see if you can send a lucky volunteer straight into the water. Big laughs, friendly competition, and instant bragging rights guaranteed.
