Pawfectly Delicious has planned a wonderful afternoon of live music, food and drink, dog portraits, dog photography, a dog agility course, and more. WJLA Meteorologist Steve Rudin will return to host for the second year as a Paws & Pours ambassador. The event also includes a robust silent auction where all proceeds will directly benefit the PDDT team of disabled adults, in addition to helping grow the team and organization.

“Our team is so excited about Paws & Pours – it gives us the opportunity to share with the community what we do and why we do it, plus we get to meet a lot of adorable dogs,” said Bryan Tuccillo, co-founder of Pawfectly Delicious and member of the baking team. “I’m also excited for all of the great items we have for this year’s silent auction.”

Thanks to the generosity of the Alexandria community and beyond, the team has acquired an incredible array of silent auction donations that will directly benefit the PDDT team. There are professional sports team tickets and memorabilia, certificates for local experiences and activities, gift cards from popular restaurants, and dog-related gifts.
