This year marks a very special milestone for Take Paws Rescue—10 incredible years of saving lives, finding loving homes, and giving dogs across the state of Louisiana a second chance. To celebrate this achievement, we are hosting our Big Bark Gala on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at a stunning private home on Lakeshore Drive in New Orleans.

The Big Bark Gala will feature:

A Canine Couture Fashion Show - a heartwarming spotlight on Take Paws Rescue dogs
Live & Silent Auctions - Exclusive items and experiences up for bid
Curated Food & Cocktails - Indulge in food and drink menus from vendors all over the city
Dancing, entertainment and much more!

This event is not only a celebration but also our most important fundraiser of the year. We ask the entire community to join us in raising $120,000 to further the organization’s mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need. Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring live entertainment, exciting auctions, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate four-legged friends.
