The Biggest Night of the Year for Shelter Pets
Dogstravaganza is back for its ninth year — and this time, we’re going all in. Literally. The 2026 edition transforms Villa Penna into a full-blown casino night where the only thing at stake is how much fun you’ll have (and how many animals you’ll help).
Stroll through the grand ballroom packed with casino games, beverages, and the kind of energy that only a room full of animal lovers can create. Whether you’re betting on blackjack or bidding in the silent auction, every dollar you play goes directly to the animals at the Humane Society of Macomb.
What Awaits You
Casino
Try your luck at blackjack, roulette, poker, and more. All the thrill of the casino, none of the risk — because the real jackpot is helping animals in need.
Raffle & Silent Auction
Score amazing prizes and one-of-a-kind items. From gift baskets to exclusive experiences, there’s something worth bidding on for everyone.
Food & Beverages
Enjoy a plated dinner (dual plate of chicken piccata and beef tips) and open bar as you mingle with fellow animal advocates. Seated dinner format (New this year: seating is assigned) means you are guaranteed a seat to relax or stroll the casino floor and play all night long.
Puppies & Kittens
Did we mention there will be puppies and kittens? Because there will be puppies and kittens. Come meet some of the adorable faces your support is helping to save

New this year: seating is assigned. Last year guests had to hunt for a seat. This year you reserve your spot when you register — buy a table and your whole group sits together, guaranteed.
Dogstravaganza puts 350 to 500 animal lovers from across Macomb County in one room for an entire evening. Sponsoring it puts your name in front of every one of them — and directly funds the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of animals who have nowhere else to go.
Packages range from table sponsorships to presenting sponsorship, and we are glad to build something custom if none of them fit.
