Just a decade ago, Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control faced the heartbreaking reality of being unable to provide vital treatments for animals suffering from conditions as simple as heartworms. These limitations could lead to unnecessary losses that weighed heavily on us all. Today, because of the generosity of supporters like YOU, our Angel Fund has transformed the shelter's ability to care for thousands of animals in need of medical intervention.

The Barks and Mews Gala provides funding that is critical to sustaining this life-saving mission. As a guest, you'll not only be making a direct impact on the lives of animals but also meeting other compassionate and engaged advocates who value the work that we do. Together, we will continue to provide second chances to those who need it most.

This very special event will be taking place on Saturday, February 22, 2025 at 6 PM at The Hangar at Kruse Plaza. We are excited to announce that WANE 15's Pat Hoffmann will be our emcee for the evening. Barks & Mews festivities include a silent auction, wine & whiskey pull, raffles, awards, dinner and drinks, and mission moments.
 
Please take a moment to watch the short video below and learn how your contributions are put to work.
 
 
We hope you'll join us and become a voice for the voiceless!
