Whiskers & Wine to raise money for Scottsdale’s shelter animals

For one October evening, some of the Valley’s favorite restaurants, wineries, breweries and distilleries will gather at DC Ranch with a shared purpose: helping homeless pets find their way home.

Foothills Animal Rescue will host Whiskers & Wine from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, at The Homestead Community Center at DC Ranch, 18600 N. 98th St, according to a press release.

Expected to draw more than 250 animal lovers and advocates, the organization’s premier pairs local tastings with live music, a curated silent auction and raffles benefiting cats and dogs in need.

“Whiskers & Wine brings together everything that makes this community special: generosity, local flavor and a genuine love for animals,” Lana Shapiro, chief advancement officer for Foothills Animal Rescue, stated in the release. “Guests can enjoy a memorable night out while helping provide the care, healing and second chances every animal deserves.”

Proceeds from the event support that full continuum of care for animals, including nutritious food, safe shelter, medical treatment, rehabilitation and adoption services.

Event highlights include:

• A Taste of the Valley. Sample offerings from local restaurants, wineries, breweries and distilleries gathered in one lively setting.
• Indoor and Outdoor Experiences. Explore food tastings, the silent auction and raffles indoors, with select beer and spirits tastings outside.
• Music and Mingling. Enjoy live entertainment and a relaxed atmosphere alongside friends, clients and fellow animal lovers.
• Auction Finds. Bid on a curated collection of products, packages and experiences.
• Raffles with a Reason. Enter for the chance to win while helping fund lifesaving care for homeless pets.
