Capture holiday memories with your pup!

We understand the feeling of hoping to have a professional and festive photo of your pup(s), but they may not enjoy the environment where there's other pups around. That is why we are bringing these opportunities to you! We ask that you only attend these events if you have a reactive and/or shy pup as we have very limited spots and want every pup to have a chance for a festive photo who may not normally be able to receive one

Thank you so much to Agility Possibilities for partnering with us for the first of five!

Please review the available slots/details thoroughly below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!

• Please only sign up for one slot per family. Spots are very limited and we want to make sure all reactive/shy pups have the opportunity for Holiday Photos

• Since we are reserving your spot, donations for photos are non-refundable if you need to cancel or do not show up for your time slot. If you miss your time slot and arrive later, you may forfeit your spot and will not be refunded.

• Please arrive by your designated time and stay in keep your pup in your vehicle until a volunteer comes to get you for your time slot.

• Please understand times could be pushed back slightly depending on each pup, though we will try our best to stay on track as much as possible.

• Photos will be holiday themed, with a holiday themed back drop. Our photographer will provide the photos within a few days after the event and we will post them/a link for you to view and download your photo.

• Please email winstonswishes@gmail.com if you have any questions prior to the event.

10 years ago we held the very first Winston's Wishes event at the Iron Horse Hotel. This event would put our organization on a trajectory to save countless Milwaukee pups, all because of one special boy, Mr. Winston.

Fast forward ten years later and we’re bringing it back full circle to partner with the Iron Horse Hotel again to celebrate a decade of helping Milwaukee pups find their happily ever after!

Join us Saturday, September 28th, as we reflect on and celebrate all of the amazing pups we’ve helped, people we’ve met, and differences we’ve made in our local community, while we look ahead to the next 10 years!

Tickets are $75 which includes Hors D’oeuvres, an open Tito’s Handmade Vodka Bar, deserts, prizes, and more!

Additional Event Details:

Saturday, September 28th 2024

5pm-11pm

Iron Horse Hotel - 500 W. Florida St. Milwaukee, WI 53204

We are asking guests to bring new Chuck It balls with them to the event as a way to honor Winston and his favorite thing in the entire world (aside from his dad of course!) These will be given to each pup on their adoption day to go along with them as they begin their happily ever afters with their new best friends!

We can’t wait for you all to join us for a laid back, semi-formal event, celebrating Winston and all of the wishes he’s made come true for our local Milwaukee pups!

Please note: Winston’s Wishes alumni pups are invited and encouraged to attend, but we kindly ask that personal pups hang out at home 💜
