In dog years, this event is nearly 140 years and running.

The Humane Society of Southern Arizona is teaming up with Loews Ventana Canyon Resort to host their twentieth annual Puttin’ on the Dog fundraiser from 5 – 10 p.m. on Saturday, April 21.

This is the Humane Society’s largest, unique, and extravagant fundraiser event of the year, held in the Kiva Ballroom and Kiva Patio.

The event includes hors d’oeuvres from some of Tucson’s top restaurants, beer, wine, and cocktails from three local bars, a silent auction featuring more than 200 items, live art painting, photo booth, and a doggie buffet.

Tickets are $135 per person, a table is $1,000 for six seats, and it’s $15 for your dog, which comes with HSSA merchandise. The dog-friendly event is 21 and over — in human years, not dog years.
