“A Night for the Animals” is Much Love Animal Rescue’s fundraising event, an evening to celebrate the lives saved over the past year and raise the critical funds needed to continue the work in the year ahead.

Much Love takes on some of the most difficult cases, including animals with severe medical needs, seniors, dogs abandoned on the streets, and those facing euthanasia in overcrowded shelters. With the support of its community, Much Love is able to cover medical & foster care and provide a safe space for dogs to land before finding their forever home.

All proceeds from the evening directly support Much Love’s  ongoing efforts to save animals’ lives.

Sponsors include: Hazy Mills Productions, Hera The Dog Vodka, Bertinelli Estates, Rooted Owl, Choice Blooms, Little Miss Doughling, Smashbox, Tower 28, and many more.

Much Love’s funding comes solely from private donations and grants, with the majority resulting from fundraising events. Much Love conserves all financial resources strictly for animal care, and all funds go directly to the animals it rescues. Much Love does not have a boarding facility, but instead relies on a network of volunteer foster families to house rescued animals while they await permanent homes. 

Much Love Animal Rescue’s mission, established 27 years ago, to rescue seniors and those in need of medical attention, still propels the organization today.
