This reimagined event transforms their beloved Rescue Runway concept into a delightful celebration that promises attendees a perfect blend of style, compassion, and entertainment, all while raising essential funds for animal medical care.

The heart of the event remains its extraordinary showcase featuring Fremont Humane alumni (and special 4-legged friends) presented alongside their handlers. Each participating dog will enjoy special moments in the spotlight as their unique stories and personalities are shared with attendees.

All proceeds from Margaritas & Mutts will directly fund the medical expenses of the shelter, supporting our commitment to treat every sick and injured animal brought into our care. The Humane Society of Fremont County aims to raise significant funds to help offset the rising costs of veterinary care and medical treatments.

"Our mission has always been that every life matters, and the funds raised through this event are crucial to providing the medical care these animals desperately need," says Doug Rae, Executive Director of the Humane Society of Fremont County. "This year's brunch edition offers a fresh experience that we believe will delight our supporters while helping even more animals in need."

Guests will enjoy delicious food, refreshing drinks including specialty margaritas, and the opportunity to bid on exciting silent auction items, all while supporting a worthy cause.
