ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – All the Kens, Barbies, and their furry pals in Abilene gathered at the Abilene Convention Center Saturday night for the Barbie-themed 2024 Fur Ball benefitting Rescue The Animals.
Dogs and their owners enjoyed a dog buffet from Pam’s Pets and a buffet from Perini Ranch, a silent auction, a costume contest, a dance contest, and more.
Sydney Hallmark with Rescue The Animals shared that one of her favorite parts about this annual event is the theme each year.
“We’re gonna make this event all about y’all for making our rescue so special… My favorite part is always the theme. I love seeing how creative people can be not only with themselves [but] with their pets as well, the outfits are absolutely adorable, and I can’t wait to see everybody,” Hallmark expressed.
She added that this event raises funds for the non-profit organization, ensuring that animals receive the best possible care.
“This will provide for all the animals at our rescue, their vet bills, any medical attention that they need, any food that we need, literally anything the animals could ask for if they could. This event will provide for them tonight,” Hallmark said. “I just want to add that I appreciate everybody coming out to support us tonight. This event is so important to our rescue. And if it wasn’t for y’all, we wouldn’t be here today.”
