During Los Perros for a Day on May 17, 2008, Los Gatos Unleashed unveiled the most incredible art pieces as part of the How Much Is That Doggie In the Window silent auction. The "fine arf" work, is visible in local merchant windows sponsored by 20 local merchants and individuals in an effort to raise funds for a dog park in our Los Gatos community.

Our Doggies Need a Loving Home by June 5, 2008!

The Arfwork Doggies are up for silent auction until June 5, 2008. All proceeds will be held with the Humane Society Silicon Valley for use in raising awareness of The Los Gatos Unleashed Project to build a community dog park. Minimum bids start at $500.00.

Each donation is 100% tax deductible. The winner of each auction will receive a one of a kind, hand painted dog as well as recognition on our website.

How to Support Your Community and Take Home Your Pet

Silent Auction forms are available at each of the local merchants listed below as well as a map of all of the merchant locations. Take your family this weekend on walking tour and place a bid at the merchant of your choice.
