Inside the 28th Annual Bark Ball

Bark Ball 2015

The Washington Humane Society (WHS) hosted its 28th annual black-tie gala – the Bark Ball – last Saturday at the Washington Hilton. Suggested to be the only black-tie event where DC socials can bring their four-legged friends as a guest, the Bark Ball had locals donning their tuxes and dusting off their tails for an evening that included a reception, extensive silent and live auction, dinner, short program, and dancing.
