VERO BEACH – Cause for Paws, the biggest annual fundraiser to benefit the Humane Society of Vero Beach and Indian River County, will celebrate its 27th Anniversary this year.
Cause for Paws kicks off at the Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club with a gala Preview Party on Tuesday, March 15, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., enjoyed by major donors.

Cause for Paws changes venues to the Vero Beach Museum of Art for the main event, on Saturday, March 19. From 6:00 to 8:30 p.m., huge selections of silent auction items await spirited bidding amid an atmosphere of cocktails and bountiful hors d’oeuvres. The Live Auction featuring enchanting trips, fine art, jewelry, antiques and more to entice the most discerning will commence at 7:45, with Gary Farless, auctioneer.
