Wags & Whiskers on the Waterfront

Join us to make memories and save lives at our inaugural fundraising event, Wags & Whiskers on the Waterfront, sponsored by the Resort at Port Ludlow on Thursday, August 21st, 2025!

Dine on a chef-curated meal while celebrating the amazing animals and people the Humane Society of Jefferson County support every day, and learn how you can help us save more lives by participating in our Silent Auction, Live Auction, and Paddle Raise!

Your evening begins with hors d’oeuvres and a complimentary beverage upon arrival. Peruse and bid on Silent Auction items before taking a seat for an eye-opening and heart-warming presentation from Executive Director, Jen Dupree, to learn where your help is needed most. Next, get your paddle ready for bidding on Live Auction items and to support matching donations during the Paddle Raise. Your evening will conclude with a tasty dessert and unforgettable memories of the lives you’ve helped save this year.

**All proceeds from this event directly support the programs and services we provide to the community, including Low-income Spay/Neuter, Adoption, Mom’s Last Litter, End-of-Life Services for pet owners, Licensing and Reunification, Behavior and Training to keep animals safe in their homes, and Vaccine & Microchip Clinics.**
