Animal Rescue Coalition hosted a pet-filled party Feb. 22 with its annual Unconditional Love gala at Michael's On East.

As you would hope, the night's cocktail hour had a number of puppies in a playpen area for guests to play and take photos with. Guests mingled over drinks and supported Animal Rescue Coalition's mission of saving animals through spay and neuter programs. Dinner and a live auction concluded the night.
