Paws Under The Stars

/in , , , , /by

Paws Under Stars is the primary fundraiser for the Rockingham -Harrisonburg SPCA. This premier event is scheduled for Saturday, March 19, 2016, at Spotswood Country Club. The gala includes heavy hor d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and music by Little Walter and the Convictions. Beer, wine, and assorted soft drinks will be available.

Funds from the event are used to provide food, shelter, comfort, and medical care for thousands of stray and surrendered dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and other critters. The dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to give these animals the basic necessities, as well as provide love, comfort, and security to help lessen their fright. Providing all these services is quite expensive. Proceeds from this event help fund the important services of the SPCA.
