The City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties
​Annual Online Auction

The City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties Online Auction showcases artists, restaurants, theaters, and small businesses from across the DC metropolitan area. From wine tasting in Virginia's rolling hills to sessions with expert pet photographers, we hope you find new products and experiences you love, while helping to save dogs and cats from overcrowded and high-kill shelters. Auctions like this are vital for us to have funds to rescue and care for dogs and cats who are in dire need.

This auction is vital for us to have funds to help dogs and cats who are in dire need. A huge thank you to the generous donors and hard-working volunteers who contributed to this auction. We encourage the City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties' community to support these pet-friendly businesses and artisans in the future.

Two notes about this year's auction:
1. DESIGNER HANDBAGS: We have Kate Spade and COACH handbags at the end of the auction! To view these items, please click on the "Luxury & Designer" category.

2. BUY IT NOW ONLY vs. BUY IT NOW OPTION: Note that where we have multiple quantities of items, we have listed them as "Buy It Now Only." For these items, we have set one heavily discounted price for immediate purchase (no bidding necessary). For the other auction items, most have a "Buy It Now" feature for those who prefer to purchase the item immediately at a non-discounted price without waiting for the auction to end.
Check out some of the hard work your bids support.
