In support of the arts and the animals in Flathead Valley, Flathead Shelter Friends, Inc., Flathead Spay & Neuter Task Force, Humane Society of Northwest Montana, and Whitefish Theatre Co. have rallied together to host "Mission Pawsible," a valley-wide art and animal gala and auction event planned for September 11, 2010 at 6:00pm at the O'Shaughnessy in Whitefish.

Following in the format of the successful "Moose on the Loose" and the "The Great Bear Affair" community events, the Mission Pawsible project will focus on one-of-a-kind artistic displays of cat and dog sculptures. Dog and cat sculptures that have been transformed by local artists and displayed throughout the community for the auction event will benefit the four non-profit groups.
