th. Our PUP Party Fundraiser is always exciting and this year will be no exception. In addition to a delicious dinner, live music, silent auction, wine pull, and more, we are excited to partner with the pirates from the Krewe of the 13 for this year's event! The Krewe of the 13 is a registered public charity which raises money to help local families who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in dire need. The pirates will be at our Pin Up Paws Party, so guests can expect swashbuckling fun from the Krewe throughout the night, and might even find themselves thrown in the pillory—for a good cause, of course!
We are so excited for this year's contest and hope you are too. By entering your pet into our contest you are helping the many pets who would otherwise not receive the care they need.
