You have an opportunity to get your paws on some unique art created by the loving animals at the Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County.

Dogs and cats are the geniuses behind some of the colorful art being sold at a live auction on March 14.

The auction will take place at 7 p.m. at The Shops of Saddle Creek (2055 West St. Ste. 6).

Fourteen pieces of art will be auctioned off and while some of the art was created by our furry friends at the humane society, local artists also contributed to the auction.

Tickets to the live auction cost $25 and includes beer, wine, and food.

You can buy tickets online by visiting the Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County's website at http://www.memphishumane.org or you can call (901) 937-3903.

All proceeds of this auction and event will be used to help the animals at the Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County.
