Shore Saves is hosting our 6th annual Rescue Pawlooza, the fundraising event that helps our non-profit rescue dogs from NJ’s overcrowded shelters all year long, on May 8th at Bar Anticipation (Bar A) in Lake Como, NJ.
This 21+, humans-only event is one you don't want to miss! Plus, no matter how you participate, you’ll help us save dogs. This event is our biggest fundraiser of the year. 100% of event proceeds go directly to providing our dogs with shelter, medical care, food, training, and love while we find their forever families.
See below for more information on our epic basket raffle! Most attendees love to participate in our basket raffle, and while we'd love for everyone to try their luck, attendees are not required to do so!
We'll have semi-separate spaces for those interested in participating in the raffle and those there to enjoy good company, delicious food, and fun drinks. There is no assigned seating - attendees are free to roam the large event space as they please!
The cost of admission is $25 in advance, $30 at the door. 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales (and from the event in its entirety!) benefit the dogs in our care.
Tickets will available via our digital ticket booth in January 2027! Stay tuned to our social media pages so you don't miss when the box office opens.
On the day of, you can pay for your tickets via any of the following methods:
Cash
Venmo: @shoresaves
Paypal: Shore Saves

Our basket raffle (also known as a tricky tray, penny social, and/or brown bag auction) is the perfect combination of a silent auction and a traditional raffle.
If you'd like to participate in our basket raffle, you'll need to purchase raffle tickets separately at the event.
Upon entering the event, participants can buy as many basket tickets as they'd like. Basket raffle tickets are not available for pre-sale. After purchasing tickets on-site, you'll have 2 hours to scope out all available baskets and prizes.
Each basket will be displayed with a list of what's inside. Alongside each basket will be its corresponding container. As opposed to bidding like you would in a traditional auction, attendees will drop one or more tickets into the basket's container to increase your chance of winning it.
We'll make several announcements before closing the window for participants to drop tickets before we begin drawing one winning ticket per basket. The winner has to be present to claim their prize. We'll call each ticket three times; and if the winner does not identify themselves and show proof of their winning ticket, the ticket will be disqualified and we'll draw another ticket from the basket's container. Winners will walk out of the event with their items in hand!
