Does your furry friend have star quality? Here's your chance to make them famous-all while supporting animals in need! The winning bidder will see their beloved pet become the official "poster child" for the Wisconsin Humane Society's 2026 Paws & Claws Gala, the organization's largest and most glamorous fundraising event of the year.

Your pet's adorable face will be featured on event invitations, emails and promotional materials reaching over 100,000 animal lovers, and incorporated into the event's signage and design. Imagine walking into next year's gala and seeing your pet as the star of the show!

To make sure your four-legged celebrity looks their best, this package includes a 30-minute in-home photo shoot with Terry Clark-Bauman Photography. WHS will select the perfect image for the campaign, and you'll receive all high-resolution digital photo files from the session to treasure forever.

A priceless opportunity for your pet to make their mark - and help other animals at the same time!

Limit one animal. Photoshoot must take place by February 20, 2026.

LIVE AUCTION will be held in the Grand Ballroom during the Paws & Claws Gala. Those interested in bidding on live auction items do have to be in person to bid or need a proxy bidder who is attending the event.
