Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary to Host Inaugural “Canines + Cocktails: Brunch Edition” Fundraiser
To celebrate the 800+ dogs who have found loving homes and raise much-needed funds for the medical needs of the dogs currently residing at the sanctuary and in foster and hospice foster homes, Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary (FLPS) – Scottsdale’s only senior dog rescue group – will hold Canines + Cocktails: Brunch Edition on November 2, 2024 from 11 am to 2 pm at The Herb Box (7000 E. Shea Blvd.) in Scottsdale.
The first brunch-time Canines + Cocktails fundraiser will feature a curated brunch menu by The Herb Box, renowned for their quality ingredients and scratch kitchen philosophy, along with mimosas, Bloody Marys and a special “Ruby” cocktail in memory of the beloved sanctuary ambassador who passed earlier this year.
Attendees will enjoy music from The Voice contestant Blaine Long, a live pet portrait painting demonstration, a Wine + Spirit Pull, the ever-popular Senior Dog Kissing Booth, and the opportunity to meet featured senior dogs and hear their inspiring stories. Assorted vendor booths will offer dog-themed products and services, and there will be an exciting array of high-value items up for bid at both live and silent auctions.
It's no coincidence that Canines + Cocktails: Brunch Edition coincides with National Adopt a Senior Pet Month.
“At Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary, our mission is to provide a fresh start for overlooked senior dogs in our community,” said Luisa Chocron, FLPS executive director. “Since 2012, we’ve worked closely with local county shelters and individuals who have chosen to surrender their pets to deliver the highest standard of medical care, facilitate opportunities for loving forever homes, and establish a safety net to prevent any of our dogs from experiencing homelessness again.”
Early Bark tickets cost $110 each through October 2 (tickets are $125 each from October 3 through the day of the event) and may be purchased online at canines2024.givesmart.com.
All proceeds raised will fund senior dogs’ medical care, which comprises the majority of FLPS’s budget. “Our high medical expenses ($1500 per dog, on average) reflect our commitment to ensuring our dogs receive comprehensive medical attention – including vaccinations, bloodwork, dental care and grooming – before they’re adopted,” added Chocron. “That way, their new families can focus mainly on loving them and providing the warm, nurturing home environment that these wonderful dogs deserve.”
FLPS is looking for additional event sponsors as well as donations for the live and silent auctions. Those interested in participating can contact Luisa Chocron at [email protected] or Heather Gala at [email protected].
