Donate to the Live or Silent Auction!
Help us create an unforgettable auction that doesn’t just raise funds—but transforms lives. Every item or experience you contribute fuels life-saving veterinary care, pet food distribution, emergency shelter, and long-term support for animals and the people who love them.
We’re curating a collection of high-value, high-impact auction items for both our Live and Silent auctions. Think exclusive experiences, luxury goods, VIP access, fine dining, collectible art, and getaways to dream destinations.
Have a vacation home you’re willing to share for a few nights? Access to a private chef, a winery, or an unforgettable behind-the-scenes experience? These kinds of contributions make for incredible auction moments—and directly support our mission of compassion.
“We believe in the moments that matter most, the ones where a child is greeted by a wagging tail that lights up their face, bringing comfort and joy. When we come together as a community to fund critical veterinary care and provide life-saving procedures at cost, we create immeasurable hope and stability. Kindness, when lived out together, has the power to change everything.”
— Adrienne Williams, Founder, Scarritt Foundation
