Animal Allies preps for ‘Fur Ball 2026’ fundraiser

DULUTH, Minn. — Calling all party animals, Animal Allies is prepped for their biggest fundraiser – The Fur Ball!

This annual event will be held at Northland Country Club on Thursday, March 12, and will have food, games, live music, and more.

There will even be a traveling table magician, making it a magical night.

Animal Allies is fully donation-funded, and this fundraiser is a great way to get dressed up and go out for a good cause.

“Our goal, as always, is to raise over $100,000 for our funding needs this year, specifically going towards spay and neuter costs. So, a good chunk of that will help with those, and then just the everyday operations of being able to, you know, take care of seven unexpected puppies that come through the door, or a litter of kittens. It’s all those unexpected things that you can never fully prepare for; that’s what Fur Ball money makes sure that we are able to do,” said Nicole Facciotto, Adoption Manager.

Tickets are still available on the Animal Allies website.

Doors will open at 5:30 for check-ins.

All ticket sales will go directly towards helping the dogs and cats at the shelter.
