Dane County Humane Society – Bark & Wine on September 27th
YOU’RE INVITED! Join us for Bark & Wine on Saturday, September 27th, 2025!
This year’s event features a rematch celebration of the oldest rivalry around – Team Cat vs Team Dog.
Donate to Vote for Your Favorite Team
YOU get to decide who takes home the prize in the biggest rivalry in town! You’ll be able to donate to vote for your favorite team (or teams, if you can’t choose just one) online. Start voting and continue to check on your team’s status as we get ready for the event to see if your team needs you to help give them a boost over the other groups. The team with the highest donation tally at the end of Bark & Wine (6:00 pm on September 27) will be crowned the champion!
Silent Auction
We have incredible items generously donated by local businesses, DCHS volunteers, and other supporters available in our online auction. Our auction has a little bit of everything: from musical instruments, to home décor, to rare liquors and wines, to handmade items. We have a variety of gift cards and certificates to enjoy events, activities, and restaurants. And carefully curated baskets for you and your fur-iends. All proceeds go to provide comfort and care to our animals. The auction is will open one week prior to the event, so check back soon!
