Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – As the end of the year approaches, local animal lovers have a chance to dress up and make a direct impact on the lives of rescue dogs across Puerto Vallarta. The Sula Society has announced its fourth annual Bow Wow Gala, taking place on Friday, December 4, from 6:00 to 11:00 pm at La Gran Terraza in Versalles.
The evening promises an engaging mix of fine dining, live entertainment, and spirited fundraising, with every dollar raised going toward the food, medical treatment, and daily care of dogs awaiting their forever homes.
Guests attending this year’s event will be treated to a three-course dinner followed by a dessert buffet from Pavlova Pastelería. Admission also includes a welcome cocktail from Tequila Arette, red and white wine at the table, one additional bar drink, unlimited water and soda, and a goodie bag featuring the gala’s commemorative keepsake.
Both silent and live auctions will offer guests opportunities to contribute further to the cause while enjoying the evening’s entertainment. Live performances will feature Monaco, winner of Favourite Live Entertainer (Group Show) in the 2026 We Are Puerto Vallarta Awards. Nick Rogers will serve as host and master of ceremonies, with Stephen Ranger, described as Canada’s premier fine-wine and charity auctioneer, leading the auction.
For those looking to elevate their evening, an upgraded Premium experience is available for an additional $50. This tier grants open access to Tequila Arette cocktails all night long, exclusive entry to the Fortaleza Tequila Tasting Bar, and a professional garden portrait session with digital photos delivered after the event.
Early Bird tickets are available for US$185 for standard admission and US$235 for Premium Admission, subject to availability for the first 56 paid seats. Regular prices are US$200 and US$250, respectively. Organizers have made seating flexible, allowing guests to buy individual tickets, reserve an entire table of eight, or set up a self-pay table group so friends can purchase separately while guaranteeing seats together. Tickets and table reservations are available online at sulabowwowgala.com.
Behind the glamor of the cocktail-attire evening is a mission that started back in 2017 when British mother-daughter duo Barbara and Lisa founded The Sula Society. What began as a personal effort to address local animal neglect has expanded into a comprehensive shelter and adoption network that currently cares for over 300 rescue dogs.
In addition to housing and medical rehabilitation, the shelter coordinates flight transport to send rescues to adoptive families across Canada and the United States. They also invest heavily in the local community by offering educational outreach and funding veterinary treatment for lower-income families who might otherwise have to surrender their pets.
The fourth annual Bow Wow Gala offers an opportunity to enjoy an evening of food, entertainment and socializing while contributing to a cause that makes a tangible difference in the community. Every ticket purchased, table reserved and auction bid placed helps The Sula Society continue its work for dogs that depend on people for their next meal, medical treatment and chance at a better life.
The Bow Wow Gala takes place Friday, December 4, from 6:00 to 11:00 pm at La Gran Terraza, Viena 369, in the Versalles neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta. To attend is to celebrate, give back, and be part of a mission that saves animals’ lives every day.
