Wandering Wine & Whiskers, a spectacular evening benefiting the lifesaving programs at The Animal Rescue Foundation, has been reimagined into an all new, immersive rescue experience on Saturday, September 23 at ARF’s headquarters in Walnut Creek.

From 5:30-8:30 pm, guests will be welcomed the same way shelter animals are – with open arms as they begin their journey through ARF’s rescue pathway. With stops in the veterinary clinic, grooming room, agility training fields, and more, guests will see first-hand the love and care each animal receives. You’ll also enjoy local wines and craft brews, hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and encounters with ARF’s Pet Hug Pack® therapy animals and adoptable cats and dogs.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned ticket holder, all guests (ages 21+) will enjoy the event’s traditional, favorite activities of local food and beverage tastings, silent auction bidding, and the pièce de résistance: furry friend encounters.

Tickets for Wine & Whiskers are $100 per person and can be booked at www.arflife.org/ww. This year’s new format is sure to draw quite the crowd, so ARF encourages early reservations.
