In a typical year, thousands of homeless pets come through the New Hampshire SPCA’s doors in need of vital, lifesaving services. As its largest fundraising event, the Auction for the Animals – presented by Top Dog Sponsors Ocean Properties and Veterinary Emergency & Surgery Hospital of Brentwood – allows the agency to continue its critical work by providing medical treatment for animals that are injured or sick, rescue resources to save animals that are neglected or abused, behavioral training to help animals find their forever homes more quickly, broad community support services, and many other important programs and services. Every dollar raised at this year’s event can help give an animal in-need the second chance they so greatly deserve.

“We’re so excited for this year’s event at the Wentworth by the Sea, and even more excited that anyone can participate online in the Auction for the Animals,” says Sheila Ryan, Director of Development at the New Hampshire SPCA. “We have some of the most spectacular items we’ve ever seen currently open for online bidding such as the gorgeous 18K gold Rolex, a romantic Valentine’s Day trip to San Francisco, a motorized scooter, a South African safari vacation, and many other exclusive gifts and trips. We are so grateful to the donors of these items, and the supporters who will bid generously to help us continue to provide lifesaving services to the animals in our care.”
