One Tail at a Time and Ivy Hall Dispensary Partner for Third Annual “Smokin’ Weed for Pets in Need” Event
CHICAGO, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One Tail at a Time (“OTAT”) is teaming up once again with Ivy Hall Dispensary for the third annual Smokin’ Weed for Pets in Need, a community fundraiser benefiting homeless pets in Chicago.
The event will take place on Saturday, May 30, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at OTAT’s Bucktown Adoption Center, located at 2144 N. Wood Street in Chicago. Guests ages 21+ are invited to enjoy an afternoon featuring adoptable puppies, tie-dye activities, snacks, music, and recreational cannabis experiences provided by Ivy Hall and their SESH Mobile VIP Lounge.
Now in its third year, Smokin’ Weed for Pets in Need has become a favorite among Chicago animal lovers and supporters alike, bringing together the rescue and cannabis communities for an approachable, welcoming fundraiser that supports rescue pets.
“This event is always such a big hit because it creates a fun, inclusive space for people to support rescue animals,” said Alli Rooney, Marketing Manager for One Tail at a Time. “Who wouldn’t want to sit in the sunshine while rescue pups zoom and bounce all around?”
OTAT and Ivy Hall Dispensary have partnered for several years on fundraising initiatives and community events supporting rescue pets across Chicago. Their continued collaboration helps raise critical funds and awareness for animals in need while creating engaging experiences for supporters.
"At Ivy Hall, we believe cannabis and community go hand in hand, and there's no better example of that than this event. Partnering with One Tail at a Time for the third year in a row is something our whole team looks forward to," said Jonny Boucher, Director of Marketing, Ivy Hall Dispensary. "It's a chance to bring people together, support an incredible cause, and show that the cannabis community genuinely cares about the neighborhoods we're a part of. We're proud to help give these animals the spotlight they deserve."
The event is open to both cannabis consumers and non-consumers alike. Guests who prefer not to partake can still enjoy the atmosphere, meet and play with adoptable puppies, participate in tie-dye T-shirt activities, and enjoy delicious beverages from Backlot Coffee.
