HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Families, pet lovers and community members have a new reason to gather on Saturday, Nov. 15. The third annual HOWLiday PAWgeant, a fundraising fundraiser for the Notorious D.O.G. Dog Rescue, will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Rocket City Dog Bar.
Event details and purpose
Organizer Amy Mayfield explained to 48 News at 11 anchor Demetria Green that the PAWgeant combines a fun, family‑friendly atmosphere with a charitable mission. Attendees can enjoy music, refreshments and the chance to meet adoptable dogs while supporting a local shelter that provides medical care, food and safe housing for abandoned pets.
Supporting a vital community shelter
The Notorious D.O.G. Dog Rescue operates as a second‑chance shelter, stepping in when animals are abandoned or need urgent medical attention. All proceeds from the event go directly to the rescue’s programs, helping to cover veterinary expenses, vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries and the day‑to‑day costs of caring for rescued dogs.
How to get involved
Anyone interested in attending can find additional information on the rescue’s Facebook page or the Rocket City Dog Bar’s social media accounts. The organizers encourage participants to spread the word, bring friends and family, and consider making a donation beyond the event ticket price.
Why the community cares
Huntsville residents have long demonstrated a commitment to animal welfare, and the PAWgeant adds a festive, holiday‑season option for giving back. By supporting local nonprofits like the Notorious D.O.G. Dog Rescue, the community reinforces the values of compassion, stewardship and family togetherness that define the city’s spirit.
Looking ahead
Mayfield noted that the success of previous PAWgeant events has inspired plans for future fundraisers, potentially expanding to additional venues and partnering with more local businesses. The goal is to create a sustainable source of funding that ensures the rescue can continue its lifesaving work year after year.
