of Tucson’s top restaurants, including Kingfisher, Pastiche Modern Eatery and Core Kitchen. Dogs can nosh on the doggie biscuit buffet. In addition, Casino de Sol and Del Blanc will pour specialty cocktails, and offer a wine pull with different reds and whites. Local bands will play music and dancing is encouraged. Puttin’ on the Dog is the Humane Society of Southern Arizona’s 20th fundraiser, but the first with this theme. Although not required, guests are invited to wear white cocktail attire. “This is the 20th annual and, because it’s been in the community for so long, we
wanted to do something different,” says Steff Hunter, the society’s event manager. “We’ve never had a theme before, so this year we are going to do an all-white theme.” The fun continues with 250 silent auction items, such as tickets to see U2 in Las Vegas – hotel and airfare included – or the opportunity to star in a 2019 Super Bowl ad. “The businesses love it because their silent auctions items are displayed really well and everyone has a link to their business,” Hunter says. Proceeds benefit the Humane Society’s Second Chance Fund, which serves animals at the shelter in need of extra care such as medical attention or fostering. The fund also benefits the pet VIP program, which hosts a team of therapy dogs that comfort abused children, seniors in retirement homes and students during finals week at the University of Arizona.
