Get your tickets ahead of time and get entered to win a 50-inch LED TV or a Jack Daniel’s Guitar.

You can also buy a custom Tails & Ales pint glass and get $1 off beer all day. Buy one glass for $8, two for $15 and four for $25.

The fundraiser has drawn hundreds of pooches and people over the years.

“Not everybody comes with their dog. Some people just come to support the cause,” said Andrea Mitchell, a Humane Society spokesperson.

On Friday, the Humane Society is hosting a coffee and cuddle event with HSSA VIP therapy and comfort dogs at Downtown Tucson Partnership, 100 N. Stone from 10 a.m.-1.p.m. on April 1.

A $10 donation at the door supports the Humane Society’s Arizona Gives Day campaign. The coffee is from Roasted Tea & Coffee Shop.
