Last summer, Park City-based Nuzzles and Co—a nonprofit, no-kill animal rescue and adoption center—hosted its 35th anniversary gala at Pendry Park City. The festive evening included cocktails on Pendry Plaza and a rescue-pet snuggle lounge featuring adorable, adoptable puppies and kittens, followed by a seated dinner and silent and live auctions. 

Nuzzles and Co has helped more than 27,000 animals since its founding, and thanks to generous donations, the organization will continue its lifesaving work. The gala garnered record-breaking funds for the organization, which will go toward urgent needs, including food, veterinary care, staff, animal transport, and keeping the lights on at Nuzzles’ Rescue Ranch. Additionally, Nuzzles recently opened an expanded adoption center in Junction Commons. Visit nuzzlesandco.org to learn more about adopting, fostering, donating, or volunteering.
