Raise a glass (or two) with our signature cocktails—the Fuzzy Poodle and the Six Toed Cat—served alongside tasty hors d’oeuvres and live music.
Sketches with Heart
Bring a photo of your pet and watch as local artist Cris Lawson creates a one-of-a-kind sketch just for you. (Donations appreciated.)
Art. Compassion. Community.
