Tail Wagger Tickets: $300 (includes special mention in event program)
Your support and attendance for this event is crucial in helping Rescue Village provide essential shelter, medical care, and adoption services for homeless pets and farm animals. By contributing, you also aid the humane society in enforcing Ohio’s animal cruelty laws right here in Geauga County and support the production of Ohio’s largest dog festival, Woofstock. Every dollar raised goes directly towards advancing Rescue Village’s lifesaving mission. Remember, as a private nonprofit organization, Rescue Village relies entirely on the generosity of supporters like you, as we do not receive any public funds or government assistance.
Gala Program
5:30 – 7:00 pm: Cocktails & Music by The Joe Hunter Trio, Adoptable Animals, and Honorary Chair, Moose the Golden Retriever.
Honorary Chair: Moose the Golden Retriever: Moose has over 94,000 followers on Instagram and has inspired the hearts of many people. For the past five years, or 35 in human years, Moose has chosen Rescue Village to benefit from the Jolly Pets “We Give a Jolly” toy donation program. This program provides toys to the homeless dogs at Rescue Village. Since 2018, Moose has also been a therapy dog with University Hospitals Pet Pals, visiting both adults and children in their rooms with his owners, Gerry and Ken Sexton. He enjoys meeting people at the UH Pet Pals sponsor booth during the Woofstock event at Rescue Village. Additionally, Moose greets visitors at special events at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
7:00 – 9:00 pm: Join us for dinner and a program, followed by a live auction and a Fund-a-Need Paddle Raise. You’ll have the exclusive opportunity to bid on the iconic Alpha Dog at Woofstock, where your dog’s image could be transformed into a cartoon by nationally syndicated cartoonist, Jenny Campbell, and featured as the face of Woofstock across the Cleveland area! Additional auction items include special vacation getaway packages and various ways to support the animals at Rescue Village.
