Wow. What a night.
Our 8th annual Jonathan Tuff Best in Show was nothing short of incredible. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, we raised over $1,000,000 in a single evening—covering nearly one-third of our annual budget.
That’s huge. It means thousands of animals will get the shelter, care, and love they so desperately need. It means hope, healing, and second chances.
But it also means we still have two-thirds of our budget to raise. The need in our community doesn’t stop—and neither do we.
To our amazing local celebrities and their pups: thank you for sharing your time, your hearts, and your stories. Special congratulations to:
🐾 Alayna Eppers with Finn and Kylie & Colton Cleveland with Mac – our Best in Show winners
🐾 Jamie Richardson with Adventure – our People’s Choice champion
To our incredible sponsors—especially Daniel George, Patrick Industries, Blue Island Investments, and Viaggio—your support made this night possible.
We are so grateful to everyone who showed up, gave generously, and believed in our mission. Let’s keep going—because they’re counting on us. 💛🐾
