Good Shepherd Humane Society invites the community to kick off the holiday season in style at the Annual Santa Paws Bash, presented by Little Bread Co., on Saturday, Nov. 22, at the Inn of the Ozarks in Eureka Springs. Doors open at 5 p.m., promising an evening of festive fun and heartfelt giving in support of local animals in need.

Guests will enjoy a plated dinner (with beef, chicken, or vegetarian/ pasta options), two drink tickets, live entertainment and a holiday market brimming with seasonal treasures. The evening will also feature a silent auction with more than 100 items, a 50/50 raffle, and a jewelry grab bag, offering plenty of opportunities to shop, celebrate, and make a difference.

Tickets are $75 per individual or $550 for a table of eight. All proceeds directly support Good Shepherd Humane Society’s vital mission to provide shelter, veterinary care, and second chances for dogs and cats throughout Carroll County.

“Santa Paws Bash is one of our most joyful traditions,” said Cole Wakefield, executive director of Good Shepherd Humane Society. “It’s an evening where compassion meets celebration — every ticket and every auction bid helps us care for the animals who need us most.”

For more than 50 years, Good Shepherd Humane Society has been a cornerstone of the Eureka Springs community. In 2025 alone, the organization is on pace to:

• Place 700 pets into loving homes;

• Distribute 100,000 pounds of pet food to local pet owners in need;

• Administer more than 4,000 vaccinations; • Perform more than 3,000 spay/ neuter surgeries.

Guests are encouraged to stay for the weekend with special room rates at the Inn of the Ozarks — just $70 per night (plus tax and fees) for Friday and Saturday nights.

Celebrate the season, support a lifesaving mission, and join Good Shepherd Humane Society for a night to remember.
