Join Us for Our 9th Annual Bark & Wine!

May 18, 2024, 6-10pm

Join us at the Historic Smithonia Farm for our largest fundraiser of the year! Guests will enjoy dinner compliments of Carrabba's Italian Grill of Athens, dessert, live music, a complimentary glass of wine or beer from Boutier Winery, unlimited non-alcoholic drinks, access to our live and silent auctions with select prizes and gifts; raffles held throughout the night; and more. This year will feature live rhythm and blues music by local artist Marsellus Fariss. We will also be holding a 50/50 raffle at the event, so one lucky winner will get to split the pot with us!

As we get closer to the event, you’ll be able to review our list of live and silent auction items below as well as our many generous sponsors. Items and sponsors are being added daily, so check back often to see the latest additions!

Tickets will be entirely virtual this year, and they can be purchased at the shelter, over the phone, or online!
