The Escondido Humane Society’s dog-friendly gala is set for Saturday, October 22, at Belle Marie Winery in Escondido. The community is asked to “Make it PAWsible” for animals in need, as every ticket purchased will go toward caring for homeless animals at the shelter. Canine companions are cordially invited, and “dog butlers” will be on hand to wait on them hand and paw. A VIP reception takes place from 5-6pm. General admission begins at 6pm and features the silent auction, hors d'oeuvres, hosted wine and beer, and entertainment. (760/888-2235, www.escondidohumanesociety.org)    MASON RICHEY
