Saving Grace’s ‘Wizard of Paws’ Fundraiser Will Help Local Pets Find Their Way Home

Saving Grace Humane Society is preparing to follow the yellow brick road for its biggest fundraising event of the year.

The organization’s annual Paws for a Cause celebration returns August 28 at Melrose Vineyards. This year’s theme, “Wizard of Paws: There’s No Place Like Home,” puts a playful Oz-inspired spin on an evening dedicated to helping Douglas County animals find safe and loving homes.

Guests will be treated to appetizers, dinner, local wine and beer, live and silent auctions, and stories about some of the pets and families helped by Saving Grace.

“There truly is no place like home, and every animal deserves the chance to find one,” Saving Grace Development Director Melissa Owens said.

Owens said the fundraiser celebrates what community support makes possible. Money raised through ticket sales, donations, sponsorships and auction bids will help provide shelter, veterinary care and a pathway home for animals in need.

Tickets are $100 per person, with tables for eight available for $800. Admission includes appetizers, dinner, and wine or beer tickets.

Updates and additional event information are also available through the Paws for a Cause Facebook event page.

The annual fundraiser helps sustain Saving Grace’s animal sheltering and adoption work, along with community programs such as its pet food bank and low-cost spay and neuter services.

For one special evening, animal lovers can enjoy dinner and drinks at Melrose Vineyards, bid on auction items and help more local pets discover that there really is no place like home.
