VIP Shopping Event
Raise funds for German Shepherds in need when you shop between 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM. A portion of all sales will be donated to help animals in Southern California and the Coachella Valley.
At the exclusive event, the public will experience a night of style, while supporting second chances for injured, abandoned and neglected dogs throughout Southern California and the Coachella Valley. Guests can shop for a cause while enjoying hors d’oeuvres from local restaurant Porta Via, champagne and exciting giveaways. “We’re honored to receive this support for our lifesaving work,” states Maria Dales, Founder of GSROC. “Being recognized in this way and sharing our mission with the community is incredibly meaningful.”
A sketch artist will create frameable pet portraits from guest-provided photos, while Kira, GSROC’s beloved K-9 Ambassador, will happily greet attendees. For those considering adopting a German Shepherd, adoption counselors will guide potential matches via the on-site digital display highlighting dogs currently available for adoption. (Dogs will not be adopted directly from the event.)
