AUSTIN, Texas — Game day energy is taking over the city, but that’s not the only reason to celebrate this weekend. From live music and festivals to puppy love and pop-ups, Austin is packed with can’t-miss events.
Sierra Waggoner and Trevor Scott sat down with Sarah Wolf, founder of Good Party ATX, who brought along a double dose of adorable with an adoptable pup, Mascot of the Match Austin Pet’s Alives! Fitbit, ready to find a forever home!

Wolf shared details about the Big Nuzzl launch party and Yappy Hour happening tomorrow at Central Machine Works.
“We have the Big Nuzzl launch party and Yappy Hour tomorrow at Central Machine Works,” Wolf said. “Nuzzl is a new dating app that’s launching in Austin. It just went live yesterday, and it’s an app for dog lovers. Basically, if you have a dog or you want to date someone with a dog, you sign up for the app and get matched with singles.”

“At the party, we’re going to have so much fun,” Wolf said. “We’re going to have games and giveaways and prizes and a supply drive for Austin Pets Alive. You can actually come out and meet adoptable dogs — we’re going to have several fosters bringing their dogs out there.”
The twist? It’s not just about swiping on people.
“You swipe through photos of their dogs,” Wolf said. “Yes, people and their dogs are on the app, so you get to kind of see if you’re a match in multiple ways.”

The celebration at Central Machine Works is more than just a launch party — it’s a full-on puppy-packed experience. Guests can expect a pup cup eating contest, games, giveaways, prizes and a supply drive benefiting Austin Pets Alive!.
