Join us for Fetching Tails' 10th annual fundraiser event, Fetching Tails Masquerade Gala on Saturday, April 5th.
** Masks, beads, and glitter encouraged !**
Fetching Tails Foundation is a community-minded animal rescue based in Schaumburg, Illinois. Driven by our commitment to humane practices, we work to take vulnerable pets out of shelters and place them in homes that are warm, compassionate, and caring.
Fetching Tails Masquerade Gala is a dog-friendly event featuring an open bar, dinner, and silent auctions. Our favorite part (other than dogs in beads) is a presentation by our emcee, WGN anchor Sean Lewis, who is a long-time friend and supporter of Fetching Tails Foundation.
Can we BAYOU a drink? We are offering three distinct ticketing options for this year's event.
** Please note that tickets for this event are nonrefundable and nontransferable. **
