13th Annual Bark & Whine Ball Goes to the Dogs

Critter Lovers At Work (CLAW), a volunteer fundraising arm of the San Francisco SPCA, will present the 13th Annual Bark & Whine Ball on Thursday, March 6th at the San Francisco Gift Center Pavilion.

Published: March, 2008 

This formal event is a tail-wagging, butt-sniffing extravaganza for human guests and their elegantly attired canine companions. The gala affair features a delectable cocktail buffet with luscious food from McCall Associates, dancing to the paw and toe tapping music of Dick Bright’s Orchestra and a fabulous silent auction. Experienced SF/SPCA staff and volunteers provide canine walking and rest room assistance. The Bark & Whine Ball is the friskiest event of the year not to be missed by any self respecting party pooch. Proceeds from the Bark & Whine Ball benefit the SF/SPCA’s Cinderella Fund (see sidebar), which provides special treatment and medical care for the neediest animals in the community.

About CLAW (Critter Lovers At Work)

CLAW is a volunteer fundraising auxiliary of The San Francisco SPCA. The San Francisco SPCA Cinderella Fund transforms the lives of the neediest cats and dogs that arrive at the shelter – those who are not only abandoned but sick and injured as well. Thanks to the Cinderella Fund, these animals receive an extra measure of skilled medical care at The SF/SPCA Animal Hospital. Once restored to health, they can be placed in the loving homes they so richly deserve.
