Every dollar raised will directly benefit the care of our furry friends and help them find forever homes. Tickets are limited, so secure yours today and gather your friends for a fantastic evening!

Don’t miss the chance to win amazing prizes in our 50/50 raffle and bucket raffle, showcasing items from our generous community partners.
