Wags & Whiskers Gala: A Night in Havana


The countdown is on for The Wags & Whiskers Gala, A Night in Havana, on Saturday, November 11 to benefit homeless pets! Presented by Renown and Hometown Health, this fabulous annual fundraiser has been revamped and reenergized to transport guests all the way to Cuba for a night of entertainment and giving back that you won’t soon forget! Tickets are on sale now and advance purchase is required. The Wags & Whiskers Gala, A Night in Havana, is Saturday, November 11 at Peppermill Resort Spa Casino and all proceeds directly benefit homeless pets at Nevada Humane Society.

Exciting, Cuban-themed entertainment will include dinner, online bidding (silent auction) and a live auction, but there’s also so much more! Salsa dancers and congo drums will make you move to the music, aerialists will offer sky-high entertainment and you’ll get a kick out of a Ricky Ricardo lookalike and celebrity impersonator! Savor unlimited Mutt-jitos and Meow-jitos or pick up a Cuban cigar (for enjoyment after and outside of the event) hand rolled right there in front of you! You’ll also meet some of the special furry friends that will have their best paw forward to thank you personally for helping them get the second chance they deserve.

The Wags & Whiskers Gala is an annual benefit to raise money and awareness for homeless pets at Nevada Humane Society. With over 17,000 animals coming through the shelter’s two locations (one in Reno; one in Carson City) each year, The Wags & Whiskers Gala will not only help to cover their cost of care, but focus on those who arrive that are sick and injured—therefore making an even bigger impact on lifesaving.

Tables of ten are $2,000 while individual tickets are $200. All tickets include dinner, unlimited wine, beer and signature cocktails and all of the festivities mentioned above. You’ll also learn why we are different and how we save the lives of those that may not always be saved at other organizations. We help the sick and injured, young and old, cute and ugly and our stories—and in person guests—will tell you why.
