The gala is the shelter’s largest fundraiser and supports their Angel Fund. Only through donor support is the shelter able to provide necessary medical options such as vaccines, heartworm treatment, surgery for broken bones, dental disease procedures, or the extra care needed for animals who have experienced cruelty or neglect. This lifesaving program is funded entirely by donations and grants. FWACC relies on the community to help make a second chance possible for the animals in their care.
