Paws Claws & Corks: A glamorous night to benefit animal welfare!
March 19th | Silva GR- The Big Room
Paws Claws & Corks is an annual gala to benefit the Humane Society of West Michigan. This evening of glitz and glamour features beer and wine tastings, small bite tasting booths from local restaurants, live and silent auctions, and an opportunity to support the nearly 3,000 animals cared for by the shelter each year.
This impactful night is more than just another event- it is a movement that unites and empowers advocates, philanthropists, and community leaders to make a difference in the lives of animals. By supporting adoptions, resources for owned pets, low cost veterinary services, and humane education programs, this campaign helps save animals across West Michigan.
