The Dogs of Instagram Took Over Pup Social—and It Was a Vibe!
On May 21, PupSocial went from a chic dog park to a full-on influencer hotspot. Despite the unpredictable skies (cue the nervous glances at the forecast!), the Socialite Dog Influencer Event turned into a picture-pawfect evening — and the pups showed up ready to pose, play, and post.
We were honored to host some of Chicago’s most beloved four-legged socialites and their equally fabulous humans. From tiny trendsetters in matching outfits to cool canines with cult followings, the turf was buzzing with wagging tails and the sound of content being created
Some of the VIP (Very Important Pups) in attendance included:
Nina Palanck, Lulu -- @lulu_gurl
Carol Marchan, DaBear -- @dabear312
Elodi Bodamer, Bowen -- @wolfofwindycity
Rachel Kane, Sammy -- @sammy_in_the_city_
Emilie Sepulveda, Greta -- @dog_loving_vegan
Jared Sarlo, Sansa -- @sansa_minibernedoodle
Bethany Boggess, Millie -- @bethanyboggess
Chrissy Dwyer, Hendricks -- @ceelove5
Todd Shamlin, Kiki -- @toddtalkstm
Tiffany Eastman, Carl -- @thechicagocarl
The outcome?
Major social engagement
Tons of tail-wagging buzz
Brand new members who discovered their home away from home
But beyond the likes and stories, we walked away with something even more meaningful: a reminder of the power of community, storytelling, and the joy that comes from giving back to our local pet-loving scene. Pup Social is more than just a space — it’s a vibe, a pack, and now, an Instagrammable destination your pup deserves.
