Mission accomplished, secret agent! Thanks to you, this year’s Rags to Wags: Mission Pawsible was a huge success. Your support helps give every pet at the Austin Humane Society a new beginning as they embark on their next mission.

On October 24, nearly 500 guests gathered at the Renaissance Austin Hotel for the 21st Annual Rags to Wags gala, and the room was full of the people who make Unleashing Hope possible. Thanks to our guests, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and partners, the evening raised critical support for the pets in our care and for the lifesaving work AHS does every day.

From the first welcome to the final bid, your generosity showed what this community can do for animals. Every adoption, every surgery, and every second chance at AHS starts with supporters like you.

Thank you to our host, our gala chairs, and everyone who joined us in making this a night of intrigue, elegance, and lifesaving.

The event photo album is coming soon!

Save the date for next year, when we celebrate AHS’s 75th anniversary. More details to come.
