Tuxes & Tails was the paw-ty of the year!
Our Rescue Squad wagged those paddles high and together with generous corporate matching gifts raised $1.5 million in support of pets and the people who love them during our 2024 Tuxes & Tails gala! If you were unable to join us, you can still experience the fun by checking out the highlights at TuxesandTails.org. And be sure to mark your calendars now for next year’s event—May 17, 2025.
