Somewhere beyond the poppy fields, where emerald towers catch the light and a golden road winds toward possibility, a very special evening awaits.
On May 22, 2027, the Animal Welfare League of Charlotte County invites you to follow the yellow brick road to The Mutt Gala: No Place Like Home, an enchanting evening inspired by the wonder of Oz and the extraordinary journey every shelter animal takes in search of home.
Within this emerald world, courage is found in frightened hearts. Love appears in the most unexpected companions. Second chances shimmer just beyond the horizon. It is a story of resilience, belonging, and the remarkable things that can happen when a community chooses to care.
Your ticket is more than admission to a beautiful evening. It helps provide nourishing meals, safe shelter, veterinary care, comfort, and hope to animals who are still waiting for their own happily ever after. Every seat at the table becomes another step along the road home.
Gather your favorite traveling companions and join us for a night where imagination meets compassion, and where every moment helps change the ending for an animal in need.
Individual tickets are $150.
Tables of eight are $1,200.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses and community partners ready to make an even greater lifesaving impact. For sponsorship information, contact aubreyz@awlshelter.org.
Reserve your place and begin the journey today. Ruby slippers are optional, but a heart for rescue is essential.
Because every animal deserves to discover what waits at the end of the yellow brick road.
There is no place like home.
