Upcoming Events
Welcome to the events page of the Animal Care League. On this page you will find information on our upcoming events. Our regular events have a page of their own and you can find the link below or in our menu above. We often have other events that come up throughout the year and you will find that information below. Many of the events are fundraisers, which provide vital funds to care for our animals, but we also list social gatherings which provide valuable animal care information or just a chance for you to meet other people who support the care of the wonderful animals at the shelter.
