Support Nashville Humane With a Virtual Dinner With Your Dog

Update, Feb. 17: Unleashed: Dinner With Your Dog has been postponed. The event will be held on on March 6. 

The pandemic hasn’t changed one thing: Thousands of animals in need still find their way to Nashville Humane Association, where they receive medical treatment and find forever homes. On Saturday, Feb. 20, the nonprofit’s annual Unleashed: Dinner With Your Dog will take place online. While the furry pals will not be strutting down the red carpet this year, the folks at Nashville Humane have created a virtual event that’s sure to please — and to raise funds for the organization’s vital services.

A $200 ticket will get you access to live presentations and performances, a three-course meal provided by Nicky’s Coal Fired (there’s a vegan option!), a bottle of Tito's Handmade Vodka, wine and a “Pawty at Home” box. Or, if you're interested in lighter fare, NHA offers an hors d'oeuvre and cocktail package for $75. Snag your ticket here. 

But the best part, of course, is the pups. Leading up to the event, dozens of doggos and their parents are campaigning to support NHA with a Dogs at Work theme. Each Woof Force Boardroom member will be raising $250 to $1,000, and the hound that raises the most will be promoted to CEO. Will it be paw-ject manager Xander? Tattoo artist Rosie? The bark-tending triumvirate Muggsy, Dooley and Ryan? Our money is on Nfocus Magazine newshound Gus — but we’re biased. Check out all of the candidates here and donate to your favorite.
