Dylan’s Candy BarN® is excited to be a part of Paw Play Days at Hudson Yards for 2025. Our foundation evolved from Dylan Lauren’s lifelong love of animals and her strong desire to come to their aid. Currently, we don’t have our own animal sanctuary, so it’s important to partner with local foundations, like Animal Haven and Rescue City, to help shelter animals find their home-sweet-home. In addition, Dylan’s Candy BarN® supports animal rescue and disaster relief efforts. Through adoption events, fundraising, awareness campaigns and partnerships, we continue to spread sweetness throughout New York, Los Angeles and across the country.

Rescue City is a Brooklyn-based dog rescue committed to saving lives through education, support, and service. Our loving, dedicated foster network helps us provide temporary, safe homes for these dogs while we find matches that result in permanent adoption placement. We pride ourselves on offering exceptional education and support throughout the process, ensuring a wonderful experience for both the dog and their human.

Animal Haven is a nonprofit animal rescue located in lower Manhattan. For over 50 years, they've worked to find homes for vulnerable cats and dogs. They provide essential medical care and behavior intervention when needed to improve the animals' quality of life. Animal Haven also provides Community Engagement programs that enhance the bond between animals and people, and endeavor to keep people and their pets together whenever possible. 

Animal Haven has been awarded a 4-star rating by Charity Navigator, indicating exceptional accountability, and transparency, and financial integrity.
