Pet Project Foundation will host our 24th Annual Gala - The Fur Ball: Paw Prints in the Piazza - at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel on September 14. Inspired by the romance and charm of an Italian piazza, this unforgettable evening will whisk you away to the heart of Italy—complete with delicious fare, flowing wine, and amore for animals.
Begin your evening al fresco on the Pacific Promenade Lawn, sipping cocktails and enjoying savory hors d'oeuvres, before moving indoors for a three-course Italian-inspired dinner, an exciting live and silent auction, and heartfelt stories of rescue and hope. Valet parking is included, making your experience as effortless as a stroll through Tuscany.
All proceeds support the lost, homeless, and abandoned animals at the San Clemente-Dana Point Pro-Humane Animal Shelter. With your help, we’ll provide lifesaving medical care, food, enrichment, and the love these animals deserve until they find their forever homes.

- Three-course sit-down dinner and plenty of wine & spirits
