Wine & Whiskers Benefits the Butler County Humane Society

On Tuesday, July 26, Cranberry Psychological Center is hosting Wine & Whiskers, a benefit night, at Narcisi Winery, 4578 Gibsonia Road, Gibsonia, from 5:30-9:30 p.m. The event supports the Butler County Humane Society, a nonprofit whose mission is to provide a temporary, safe, no-kill shelter for homeless, adoptable cats and dogs- ultimately placing them in loving homes or with caring rescues. The humane society also works to increase community awareness about the humane treatment of animals through education, spay-neuter programs, rabies clinics and the respect for life.

“For years I’ve worked as a therapist, and in 2016, I bought the practice. Often, I recommended, as part of treatment, that people with depression or anxiety volunteer because when we help others, we feel better,” said James Shamlin, LCSW, Cranberry Psychological Center. “I noticed that many opted to volunteer at Animal Friends, which is a fine organization, but most of my clients live in the north and were unaware of the Butler County Humane Society. I wanted to find a bridge to connect the Cranberry-area community to the Humane Society by hosting an annual event.”

Wine & Whiskers is the 5th annual event benefitting the Butler County Humane Society hosted by Cranberry Psychological Center. “This will be our first event held in the summer. Usually, we hold the For the Love of Shelter near Valentine’s Day,” said Shamlin. “This should be a lovely event as it will be held indoors and outdoors.”

Tickets to Wine & Whiskers include wine tasting, dinner, wine and dessert at the lovely winery where you will be surrounded by the rolling hills of the peaceful countryside.

The evening will also include a silent auction and raffle baskets. Admission is $80 per person or $150 per couple, and they can be purchased at the Butler County Humane Society, 1015
