The 2nd Annual Dessert for Dogs event will offer the community a unique evening of sampling deliciously made desserts from our area’s top chefs and those with a flair for making sweet treats! The event will be held at Morey’s Convention Center in Burley, April 12, 2018 from 6:30p to 8:30p. Tickets will be $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

Prizes will be awarded in several different dessert categories to the top chefs through a voting process. There will also be a silent auction, entertainment and an opportunity to talk with those that work so hard for our furry little friends at MJPACS. Categories include: Pies/Cobblers, Cheesecake/Cakes, Brownies and Sweet Rolls, Candies/Chocolates, and Cookies/Bars.

We are seeking sponsorships, donations and entries of all kinds to make this event a success and something that attendees will save the date for years to come!

MJPACS is a not for profit facility that is funded in large part by donations and volunteer staff. The shelter is allotted a small annual operating budget provided by the tax payers of Minidoka County. Due to the increasing costs of animal care, spaying/neutering and the basic requirements to run the shelter, donations are vital to keep up with the daily needs of our four legged friends as the staff work tirelessly to rescue, revive, rehabilitate and re-home the dogs that come into the facility. With the help of tireless volunteers and public support, the MJPACS has reduced the number of dogs euthanized from over 90% several years ago to less than 1% in 2016; most of the dogs in Minidoka County that come to the facility, for whatever reason, are rescued and adopted by loving families.
