Portland’s Most Heartwarming Gala
Bringing together animal lovers for an elegant evening, Tail Wag’s cocktail hour, multi-course dinner, and program provide an event experience like no other.
Our 2025 Tail Wag gala raised a record-breaking $615,000 to support Oregon Humane Society’s programs and services, including adoptions, subsidized veterinary care, and humane law enforcement. More than 300 animal advocates snuggled kittens and puppies, hugged a therapy llama, and applauded a runway of shelter dogs all while celebrating the bond between pets and the people who love them.
