About Pets on Parade
FETCH a Cure will return to the gorgeous Main Street Station in downtown Richmond for our 17th celebration of the Pets On Parade Benefit & Auction presented by Bar West and River City Roll on Friday November 7, 2025 from 6pm-10pm.
Voted in the top three Best Local Fundraising events by Richmond Magazine, Pets on Parade hosts over 600 people and their furry family members. This is by far the most fun guests will have at an auction! Attendees will enjoy delicious local cuisine from some of Richmond’s best restaurants, signature cocktails, a varied silent auction with something for everyone, and a spirited live auction at FETCH’s biggest fundraiser of the year!
Funds raised at Pets on Parade help support FETCH a Cure in our mission to further pet cancer awareness, education and treatment and provide financial support for ongoing programs, including the Companions in Crisis fund and Pixie's Pen Pals rescue program.
Pet Policy
Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join the event! Dogs must remain on a leash at all times - no flex/retractable leashes. We ask that each guest complete a Pet Waiver before the event or at registration.
