It’s time to get ready for the 15th Annual Puttin’ on the Dog Event which will once again be held at the Hilton El Conquistador Tennis & Golf Resort. Mark your calendars for Friday April 26, 2013. View the full moon rise above the Santa Catalina mountains, as you sip a glass of wine, sample scrumptious food, and listen to music - and of course one of the best parts - bidding on all the wonderful auction items. And don’t forget you can always extend the evening and purchase a room at a special rate to stay at the Hilton even with your dog.

Join us at the Hilton El Conquistador Tennis & Golf Resort featured delicious food from Tucson Originals, one of the biggest silent auctions in Tucson, a live auction and music by Tesoro.

Last year, more than 1,100 people and 100 animal companions joined us in raising more than $210,000 to directly benefit the animals in our care. Now let’s make the 15th Annual Puttin’ on the Dog a barking success!

For information on how to get involved in the 2013 event, contact Carol Dimit at 520.321.3704, ext. 174, or cdimit@hssaz.org.
