Inaugural Paws And Pawsta Gala To Aid Healdsburg Animal Care

Healdsburg, are you ready to party for a good cause?

The inaugural Paws and Pawsta event will provide aid to the work of the Sonoma County Animal Care and Control and will provide operating funds for the organization that assumes the contract for animal services in Healdsburg.

“Your support as a sponsor will result in many tail wags, purrs and much appreciation,” said County Supervisor Mike McGuire, a key member of the Paws and Pawsta organizing team.

Sonoma County’s renowned “pasta king,” Art Ibleto, intends to contribute a delicious meal of pasta, barbecued tri-tip and polenta for guests attending the benefit. The gala will also include award-winning wines from Kendall-Jackson.

Healdsburg has made great strides as it relates to animal care and services but the community is focused on achieving greater goals.

“Healdsburg never thought they’d have a dog park but now there are two,” said Cecilia Pietropaoli, a member of the Healdsburg Dog Park Committee. “With that the same dogged perseverance our community can continue to help our animal friends in need. Paws and Pawsta is just the start!”

Paws and Pawsta will feature a puppy kissing booth, cameos by some of the adorable pets looking for homes, live music, silent and live auctions and much more.

The celebration takes place on Sept. 22 at 5:00 p.m. and is located at Richard’s Grove & Saralee’s Vineyard.

Presale tickets are $50 each and reserved tables for eight are $500. For more information about ticket availability or to become a sponsor please visit www.pawsandpasta.org.
