Kitten Pilates
Kitten Pilates was hosted by Sculpted Hot Pilates, a fun and heartwarming experience benefiting the shelter animals we support through DASH (Domestic Animal Services Heroes). This special event combined movement, wellness, and playful kitten interactions while helping raise funds for lifesaving resources, enrichment, medical support, and advocacy for pets waiting for their forever homes. Every participant helped us continue creating happier, healthier lives for shelter animals in our community, one stretch, cuddle, and second chance at a time.

Forty, Flawless & For the Paws, a special evening, was hosted by Christina Hite (The Makeup Nurse), dedicated to supporting the shelter animals we serve through DASH (Domestic Animal Services Heroes). This elegant fundraising event at Chartreuse Craft Cocktail Lounge featured cocktails, light bites, desserts, puppy photo moments, and a community coming together for a meaningful cause. Every ticket and donation helped us continue providing lifesaving resources, enrichment, advocacy, and support to animals waiting for their forever homes. Together, we give more pets the second chance they deserve while creating a healthier, happier future for shelter animals in our community.

Angel Trees are Up! Christmas in July
Our Christmas in July campaign is officially underway, and the Angel Trees are now up! Each ornament represents a shelter pet waiting for a special gift to brighten their day. We invite our community to stop by one of our Angel Tree locations, choose an ornament, and help make a shelter animal's holiday a little brighter. Every donation, big or small, brings comfort, joy, and hope to the dogs and cats in our care. Thank you for helping us spread kindness this summer and showing our shelter pets just how loved they are. Together, we can make this Christmas in July one to remember!
