Description

Our annual silent auction is 4 Luv of Dog Rescue's biggest in-person fundraiser each year. Our fundraising goal for each auction is $50,000 which we have been able to meet in all recent years due to generous supporters. 

We rent out all available event spaces at the Fargo Holiday Inn and still manage to pack the place! We easily have at least 1,000 attendees throughout the night. Due to Covid, we started using a hybrid auction model that allows people to view the baskets in-person while bidding happens online with BidPal. We decided to continue with this method even when restrictions were lifted since it provides more visibility of donors and supporters as well as a much smoother bidding experience for attendees.

We are a non-profit organization with federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status; as such, we receive no government funding and rely entirely on grants, fundraising, and generous donations from our community to provide for all the dogs in our care. Since our rescue’s inception in 2005, we have placed well over 6,000 dogs into their forever homes. In 2022, more than 570 dogs found their homes through 4 Luv.
