As the WVHS's largest annual fundraiser, silent and live auction items will be part of the gala's highlights, according to Development Director Pamela Nelle .

The goal is to raise $100,000 which supports the shelter operations and the care of almost 5,000 animals the WVHS serves in Chelan and Douglas County each year.

Nelle is still welcoming sponsorship and auction items for the event; pnelle@wenatcheehumane.org, (509) 662 9577 ext. 421.

25 Unusual Things Owners Say They're Pets Have Eaten

Having a pet, especially a dog, is like having a toddler all the time. If you don't see or hear them for a while, it usually means they're getting into something they're not supposed to be getting into. After my dog had to have surgery to remove a lump of carpet she had eaten, I wanted to know if there were any other strange or unusual things other people's pets have digested. How some of these animals still have working digestive systems is nothing short of a medical miracle. It's a good thing they're cute.
