Ties & Tails Gala 2026

Join us for the Humane Society of Midland County’s signature fundraising event, the Ties & Tails Gala, presented by HSoMC. This year’s theme, Paws & Pearls: Tuxedo Cats & Top Dogs, brings an elegant, black-tie evening to The H Hotel in support of animals and the Animal/Human Bond in our community.

The Ties & Tails Gala is the Humane Society of Midland County’s premier annual fundraiser, bringing together animal lovers, community leaders, and supporters for an unforgettable evening of impact and celebration.

This year’s event, Paws & Pearls: Tuxedo Cats & Top Dogs, embraces a refined black-tie atmosphere featuring:

  • Cocktail hour and social reception

  • Silent and live auction experiences

  • Dinner and program

  • Inspiring stories highlighting the Animal/Human Bond

  • Opportunities to directly support animals in our care

All proceeds from the evening support the Humane Society of Midland County’s daily operations, including animal care, adoptions, low-cost veterinary services, and programs that keep pets with the families who love them.

Your attendance and support help us continue improving the lives of people and pets in our community.
