Pizza for Paws

April 22nd-24th, 2019 • All Day • All Longo’s Pizza & Joey’s Italian Grille Locations

What if we told you that you can help the homeless animals by simply eating pizza? Great news, you can! Join LHS and our friends at Longo’s Pizza and Joey’s Italian Grille for the 7th Annual Pizza for Paws to benefit our homeless animals. Our goal is to raise $12,000 by selling 1,000 pizzas during this 3-day event. We can’t do it without your help!

Here is how you can participate: Head on over to any Joey’s Italian Grille or Longo’s Pizza locations and purchase a large one-topping pizza for $12. 100% of your purchase will benefit the homeless animals in our care.  All you need to participate is the required event flyer and a craving for delicious pizza.
