Get ready for an evening of fashion, fun, and compassion at the second annual Rescues on the Runway! This unique event brings together Operation Pets Alive supporters and local boutiques for a dazzling live fashion show—where our community models strut the runway alongside adorable adoptable or personal pets.

Why It Matters:
All proceeds benefit Operation Pets Alive, a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit founded in 2011. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to find forever homes for abandoned animals in Montgomery County. Every ticket purchased helps save lives and give homeless pets a second chance.
 

What to Expect:

  • Live Fashion Show: Chic looks from top local boutiques paired with precious rescue pets.
  • Silent Auction & Raffle: Bid on exclusive items and experiences.
  • Dinner & Drinks: Enjoy a delicious meal and tasty libations throughout the evening.
  • Casino: beat the odds at our casino after party - where the fun will carry on until late night!
  • Community Impact: Your support directly helps provide medical care and adoption opportunities for animals in need.

Please Join us!
Celebrate style and compassion while making a difference. Together, we can help Montgomery County’s homeless animals find loving homes.
