Annual Events
Bark and Wine
Bark and Wine is the largest annual fundraiser for Black Dog Animal Rescue. Tickets to this event will get you access to a beautiful evening and a fantastic dinner. You will be able to enjoy live entertainment, browse a large silent auction while meeting adoptable animals, and visit with BDAR volunteers, staff, and Board members. Celebrate your love for shelter pets with us!
Anyone who supports Black Dog Animal Rescue’s life-saving work is invited to attend. Bring your friends and family too! This is not a formal, black-tie event. Dress code is more along the lines of business casual. This event takes place in October.
Call 307-514-4024 for more information or with questions.
BArk and Wine will be back in October of 2025
Adoption EVENTS
Since we have a foster based system, we like to give our adoptable animals the chance to meet potential adopters at Adoption Events. It also gives you a chance to meet our staff and volunteers and learn more about BDAR. Check our calendar to see upcoming events!
Cornhole Tournament + Block Party
This is a regulation, double-elimination tournament. Teams of two will compete for top bragging rights, a spot on the podium, and other prizes.
Live music, food trucks, and good beer will help ensure a good time is had by all who attend.
In 2024 we raised $24,927 at Cornhole! See you in 2025
Special Events
Do you have a special event coming up and want to invite BDAR to have a table at or have adoptable animals attend? We are happy to partner with other organizations! We do have some basic requirements that make it easier for us to be available:
Please give us 4-6 weeks notice to plan for the event.
BDAR depends largely on the financial support of our generous donors, so we may need to ask for a one-time donation to help us offset costs and support our mission. To host an adoption event, the donation is between $750-$1,000.
Due to availability of foster homes and fluctuating number of foster animals, we cannot guarantee a set amount of adoptable animals to be present. The number of adoptable animals will vary.
If you or your organization are interested in partnering with BDAR for an event, please email our Marketing and Development Manager, Paige at paige@bdar.org.
