Bowling for Bullies
Help save local pups with some pins! The Annual Bowling for Bullies with Central Ohio Pit Savers, aka COPS, is Saturday, February 21, 2026 from 2-4 pm.
The goal of Central Ohio Pit Savers, aka COPS, is to keep pets with families to reduce the number of animals in shelters.
They help pet owners get access to vaccinations, medical care, behavioral training and education, pet food, and other pet supplies, regardless of their ability to pay.
Bowling for Bullies can help meet these goals, and keep dogs healthy and at home. Some of the main reasons pets are surrendered to shelters is due to owners inability to pay for medical care, or lack of funds to cover regular pet expenses.
Tickets for Bowling for Bullies are $35, and include 2 hours of bowling, shoe rental, 1 pizza per lane & unlimited soda. There will also be a 50/50 raffle & Silent Auction.
