The Green Hills Animal Shelter is gearing up for one of its most anticipated events of the year — Barktoberfest 2025! The community is invited to mark their calendars for Sat., Oct. 11, when the annual fundraiser returns with an evening full of fun, food, and entertainment.

This year’s event will begin at 5:30 p.m. at Black Silo Winery, offering guests a chance to enjoy a social gathering, a delicious dinner, and live entertainment. A highlight of the night will be the much-anticipated live auction, with proceeds benefiting the many animals cared for at Green Hills Animal Shelter.

Barktoberfest has become a beloved tradition, blending community spirit with a cause that touches countless lives — giving shelter pets the chance to find loving homes. Attendees can look forward to not only supporting the shelter’s mission but also enjoying an unforgettable night out.

More details about auction items and entertainment will be released as the date approaches, but organizers encourage supporters to save the date now and make plans to attend.

All funds raised will directly support the shelter’s daily operations, from food and medical care to adoption services for cats and dogs waiting for their forever families.
