All right, Al. Thank you so muc.
Well, coming up this August is e
29th annual Texas Entails Gala,
The Grand Old Pauprey. Get it r.
The event is hosted by the
Kentucky Humane Society and
will include cocktails, dinner,
dancing and a showcase for those
special 4 legged guests and so much more.
Joining us now with more on the
event is Leila Birch and Alan
Stubbs to tell us about it
and Lance, who's our perfect li,
perfect little TV puppy. Yes.
Yes. You're just wonderful.
Right. He's just been. So
usually when you say, oh,
we're bringing a puppy, we're l,
oh, get ready for it. But, you ,
you are doing your best to get adopted.
He's got his best paw forward right now.
You are so good. So good.
Well, taxes and tails,
always just a big popular event, right?
Yes. Already sold out this year.
That's great. I mean for thougho
kind of take us inside, you kno,
what is the night like? Yeah,
it's amazing. So this year the
theme is a little bit more couny
and fun with grand old Poppery.
So you'll see jeans and
cowboy boots and hats,
but you'll see people all dolled up as well.
We'll have 500 to 550 people ate
downtown Marriott and tons of f,
silent and live auction items.
Lots of games, everything going.
And then of course,
the the main event of the night is to
raise money for this awesome charity.
So many animals in our state ned
our assistance and we're tryingo
take care of as many as possibl.
I know you guys are,
you're full right now.
Yeah, just thinking it really
puts a strain on your resources.
So enter these events why they'e
so important that you know it's
so cute to look at all the anims
and the cats and the dogs,
but really truly you all need tt
gives you all that support year round,
right. It brings awareness to what we do
and the fact that we have so many animals,
dogs, cats, puppies, kittens tht
are looking for their forever h.
So events like this generate the money that
we need and also gets our the word out.
And there's so like Lance theres
so many adorable animals that
are just looking for that place
and horses to, you know, I've seen a couple
of your your social media posts
recently just with the number of
horses that you've rescued thatu
get in good health and it's like
all right, who has a barn. It's
a lie. It's a lie.
But you know you're giving that
animal again a place where
they can retire in peace.
And being in a loving home,
it means in a lot of people do
have property, right. They do ad
we adopt across the country too.
So it is just if you've never
been to Willow Hope Farm,
it's worth a worth a visit.
So will you have animals there at the event?
Yes. Or have puppies, kittens, s
and a miniature horse.
Well, they will have bandanas o.
They'll be up. They'll be
dressed for the for the occasio.
Yes, you will. And we'll have
some senior dogs that still need to find.
Good. Yes. Right. So we'll have
a good mix of animals there. And
I think we're going to have
maybe a pony this year.
They look stormy.
Our miniature horse.
Miniature horse, yes.
It's going to
make an appearance. So
yeah, I love it.
