Yappy Hour 2024

The 15th Annual Yappy Hour was MARL’s most successful event yet, and that’s all because of your support. Your attendance meant the world to us, and to the homeless dogs and cats that depend on MARL for their second chance. We hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!
The funds raised at Yappy Hour will cover the complete cost of care for 800 animals! That means 800 deserving dogs and cats will receive the medical care, love, shelter, and second chance they need—all thanks to your generosity. Together, we’re making an incredible impact and giving so many animals the chance to find their Happily Ever After.
