Bark & Wine raises money for animal shelter

Over 140 people attended the sold-out Bark & Wine benefitting Shelby Humane Society on June 13. Held at the Inverness Country Club in Hoover, guests were treated to club buffet dinner, drinks and a live auction with Ken Jackson. Mayor Stancil Handley of Columbiana served as emcee and updated the crowd on the many successful programs and services at the Shelby Humane Society including local adoptions, transports to northern states and “quick fix” spay and neuter programs to reduce overpopulation. 

As the only open-admission animal shelter in Shelby County, Shelby Humane Society cares for over 5,000 animals each year.

EBSCO Industries Inc., PAC Insurance Agency, Patton Chapel Animal Clinic, Oak View Animal Hospital and Valleydale Animal Clinic sponsored the event.

Some of the items won during the silent and live auctions include a three-night stay at Phoenix West 2 condo, a dinner and tour at Stone Hollow Farmstead, an Auburn University basketball autographed by Bruce Pearl, a University of Alabama football autographed by multiple players, a guitar autographed by multiple musicians, a gift certificate to Pampered Pet Resort, Orbix wine glasses and a diamond and white gold necklace from Diamonds Direct.
