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 Shelby Gardens 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 first-floor ballroom packed with casino games, then head upstairs for food, 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 Floor
Try your luck at blackjack, roulette, poker, and more in the first-floor ballroom. 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
Head to the second-floor ballroom for delicious bites and drinks as you mingle with fellow animal advocates. Strolling format means you can graze 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
Open bar all evening. Casino play earns raffle tickets only — there are no cash payouts and no wagering of your own money.
The VIP Experience
Want the full high-roller treatment? Upgrade to VIP for $125 and enjoy an exclusive room with premium perks. Same room that stole the show in 2025 — because when something works, you double down.
