Our Ties & Tails Gala is a beautiful evening reception featuring a cocktail hour, live entertainment, an open bar, dinner and dancing, and a silent and live auction. The Gala allows us to celebrate our mission and recognize those that make a difference in the lives of homeless pets. Last year’s inaugural Gala was a smashing success, with tickets selling out weeks before the event. The event was also chosen last year as the best inaugural event by South Park Magazine.

This year, our Ties & Tails Gala, presented by AirTight Mechanical, will be even bigger and better as we move to the Grand Ballroom at The Westin Charlotte to accommodate more of our supporters. Well-behaved canine guests are also invited for a small fee, however space is limited. Click here for information about bringing your dog to the event. This is the only black tie event in Charlotte where dogs are invited!
