Spotted: A dazzling crowd of animal lovers gathered at the AC Marriott in Worcester for the 26th Annual Auction Gala—a night filled with glamour, generosity, and a little four-legged mischief. 🐾✨

Among the best-dressed? Ribbet, the evening’s most charming guest, making his way around the ballroom, visiting guests, and stealing hearts. 💕

But that wasn’t the only big news of the night! We announced an expansion of our pet food pantry building to meet the growing need of pets in our community. Tito’s Handmade Vodka matched the first $5,000 in donations, and a generous donor stepped up with a $25,000 match to make this dream a reality. With $14,000 still left to match, there’s still time to be part of something epic. Donate Now Here: https://app.dvforms.net/api/dv/zk1334

Hundreds of must-have items found new homes, thanks to the fierce bidding from our amazing attendees. From fabulous dresses to sharp tuxes, the night was a true spectacle of style and spirit—all to help pets in need.

A huge shoutout to the rockstar student volunteers from UCONN, WPI, and Nichols College who kept the night running smoothly, to Tito's Handmade Vodka and all our incredible sponsors, and to the dedicated volunteers and local businesses who made this auction possible.

Because of your generosity, Second Chance can continue helping tens of thousands of pets get the care, love, and second chances they deserve—just like the 56,000 pets we helped last year. 🐾 💕

To everyone who attended, bid, or supported from afar—YOU made this a night to remember. It was a great night for pets, and even better, a brighter future for those still waiting for their second chance.

XOXO, Second Chance 🖤
