Join us for the Humane Society of Utah’s 2025 Wags to Wishes Gala

Nothing makes an animal’s tail move faster than unconditional love from its human. And if humans had tails, we’re pretty sure they would wag from an animal’s unconditional love, too. 

For a chance to give back to precious animals in your community, the Humane Society of Utah is hosting the 2025 Wags to Wishes Gala: A Splash of Love. The event will be held at Loveland Living Planet Aquarium in Draper, and filled with inspiration and opportunities to give lifesaving donations to animals in need.

If you can’t attend, you can still make a big difference by making financial donations to the Humane Society of Utah. Donations include nurturing and medical necessities such as:

• Doggy field trips

• Spay/neuter services

• Day of care for one animal

• Entry to win a vacation for YOU

Every little bit makes a difference, so even exchanging your morning latte for a donation can help a pet in need.
