Our favourite pet fundraising bash, Paws for the Cause, is back with #PawsParty, a fun, stylish and boisterous social event raising funds for University of Guelph’s Pet Fund and The Chloe Award, a scholarship for a promising veterinary student.

The highly anticipated, Valentine’s Day-inspired fundraiser will go down at the Hoxton on Feb 12th. We can’t wait to celebrate our furry, four-legged BFF’s in a room full of guests who adore animals as much as we do.

Toronto’s hottest bachelors (rumour has it there may be a Toronto Raptor in the mix) will strut their stuff on the runway (with puppies, obvi) as part of “The Dawg Show” (#woofwoof). They’ll then be auctioned off for V-day dates at the city’s most coveted restaurants.

Not a single lady? No problem! You can help the cause by bidding on reservations to incredible local restaurants like Campagnolo, The Gastropub, and the Harbord Room to name a few.

Hosted by Harbord Room chef Corey Vitiello, the night will also include a retro love note wall where guests can pen secret love letters to their crushes.

The PAWS Gala is happening at 8pm on February 12th at the Hoxton, 69 Bathurst St.
