This year, Black Tie & Tails dares to be different with Pawp Art—a bold and vibrant celebration that blends Pittsburgh’s iconic pop art culture with Animal Friends’ mission to save lives and serve the community.
Join 500 animal lovers for an unforgettable evening curated by LUXE Creative. Together, we will raise critical funds to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals in need and fuel our lifesaving community outreach programs.
