'Tails at Twilight' tickets almost gone

A few tickets remain for Companions Animal Center's annual fundraiser, "Tails at Twight" set for 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 6. 

It will include dinner, music and auctions. About 250 tickets have been sold. The deadline for sales is noon Friday.

Last year's event raised $92,000.

"By attending Tails, you not only experience a great event with family, friends, and coworkers, but you are also assuring that abandoned, abused, or unwanted animals has a safe place to lay their head at night, nutritious food, and loads of playtime and lots of love until they find their forever home," a press release said.

The theme is Hearts of Gold.

It is being held at CAC, 10275 N. Atlas Road.

"If you haven't visited recently, you will be introduced to a second canine wing. With the growing number of dogs needing a forever home, funds were borrowed to complete the original floor plan," the release said. "You'll be able to leisurely stroll the feline and canine wings during the evening to meet our current residents."

Tickets are $125.
