The “amazing assortment” of Starlight Auction items, including resort packages and symphony tickets, fine jewelry, sports equipment, original art, and even a trip to the Heritage Safari Lodge in Zululand, South Africa, make excellent holiday gifts and support the mission of ARC.

ARC President, Tracey Hendershott, explains: “The proceeds of the auction enable us to care for the over 400 pets we have at ARC all the time and also enables us to take in severely injured and abused animals and those with health issues that other shelters won’t take and to give them health care, rehabilitate them and place them in good homes. The Starlight Auction also allows us to rescue dogs and cats from kill shelters. We partner with other shelters to take animals whose time is up and find homes for them.”
