The Fur Ball event was organized to bring people together who share a common bond: an undying love for animals. The money raised will be used to continue Guardians of Rescue and Save-A-Pet’s commitment to programs such as saving lives of homeless animals, and Paws of War, matching our veterans suffering from PTSD with rescued dogs who are trained to serve them.

“We are proud to support our shelter partner and hope everyone will join us for this gala event,” said Robert Misseri, Founder and President of Guardians of Rescue. “ If not for their support, we could not continue our mission of providing service dogs to our veterans and housing orphaned companion animals.”
