Last year the Green County Leaders organized the first Pawlapalooza fundraiser, an evening with wine and hors d'oeuvres at the Monroe Country Club.
The event brought in $19,000 for the shelter, thanks to numerous sponsors from the community and a very popular raffle, silent auction, and live auction at the event and proved to be the Humane Society's largest fundraiser of 2010.
