Our 3rd Annual Charity Fur Ball promises to be an unforgettable evening filled with entertainment and compassion. Guests will enjoy a silent auction featuring delightful gift baskets, a wine cork-pull fundraiser, exquisite wine, delectable hors d'oeuvres, and delightful desserts. The evening will be enhanced with an introductory group ballroom dance lesson for beginners, followed by social dancing and the presence of many compassionate individuals who share out commitment to animal welfare. This semi-formal event is not only a celebration of our shared values but also a vital source of funds that enable our non-profit, no kill and volunteer run shelter located in Terryville, CT to care for abandoned, abused and neglected cast and dogs.
