One of Wine Country’s most spectacular fundraising events, Paws for Love offers an evening of fun, food, fine wine, and Valentine memories to cherish, with all proceeds benefitting homeless and abused animals of Sonoma County, the North Bay, and beyond. In addition to the sale of artwork painted by talented shelter animals, this event also features silent and live auctions offering award-winning wines, original art by two-legged artists, and many other exciting donations by area businesses and celebrities. A gourmet gallery showcase of Sonoma County wine and cuisine is also included in the price of admission to our 2011 event. We invite you to be our special Valentine in 2011 - and help many needy animals at the same time.

For directions to the Finley Community Center, please view the map.

Our 2010 Paws for Love benefit was a huge success, with record attendance. The artwork by our furry artists sold briskly, and the auction was lively with bidding for trips, dinners, artwork, and services donated by our supporters from Coast to Coast.

Exciting news and updates regarding our 2011 benefit are continually added to our website until the day of the event, so stay tuned and check back often!

THE PATIENCE FUND

A new fund established to support the fostering and adoption of dogs at risk, the Patience Fund has been created by a generous friend of Paws for Love. The fund is named for the donor’s mother, and we are told that this fund also represents the "patience" it takes to be involved in animal welfare…taking small steps, day by day, to save these precious lives.

To make a tax deductible donation to The Patience Fund, please send a check or money order to:

Paws for Love Foundation
Attn: "Patience"
