Paws & Tails Winter Art Gallery 2022

A video of our talented shelter pets creating their masterpieces played throughout the evening, showing our Pawcasso's as they crafted a glorious pattern of paw prints upon the canvas. But the obvious draw card of the night was the 27 finished pieces of art placed around the room, beautifully transformed by our incredibly talented team of local artists! An endless flow of bids poured in from those in attendance and those bidding online. This was the first time we'd ever run an event like this, and we had no idea what to expect, but we were blown away!

Thanks to YOU, we raised an INCREDIBLE $8,525 for the animals in our care and the people who love them!
