This event is for the dogs. And cats. And cenophiles.

Britain Hill Venue & Vineyard will host the fifth annual Whiskers, Wags, and Wine event on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 790 Little Britain Road North, Quarryville.

The proceeds will benefit recues and nonprofit organizations Angie's Stray Foundation, LaMancha Animal Rescue, Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue, Wagon Tailz Animal Rescue, Charlie's Crusaders Pet Rescue, Woerth It Hollow, Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation, and Leo's Helping Paws.

Britain Hill will collect donations for those groups, including paper towels, canned cat food, laundry detergent, bleach, new or gently used toys, unopened dry food, towels, trash bags, and dish soap.

"Those organizations have compiled a wish list of things that the fosters and the rescues themselves use," said Debbie Casson, the owner and operator of Britain Hill Venue & Vineyard. "So we create something called Donation Alley, and we have a flat bed."

There will be more than 20 vendors on-site. "We have a lot going on during the day," said Casson. "The rescues and nonprofits will all be in the front lawn. We will have adoptable cats and dogs here that someone can place an application for. Last year, we homed 13 dogs. They'll all be outside. We will have vendors that'll be upstairs in the venue, anything from candles to jewelry to home decor, lots of different products up there."

In front, Britain Hill will have a booth. "Our employees get together every year and collect different containers and little unique, antique pieces, and we create succulent gardens," said Casson. "We put together about 80 to 100 succulent gardens, and we sell them, and 100% of those proceeds go to rescues that day."

RiverDawg Grooming will provide ear cleanings on animals, and T's Dog Grooming will perform nail trims with the proceeds going to the charities.

"Probably the most fun thing we do is our doggy kissing booth," Casson said. "We put the adoptable dogs in the kissing booth so they can meet and greet hopefully their future owner. People can put a dollar in to kiss the dogs, and that's fun, but really it's just to socially acclimate the dogs and get them exposure and hopefully a forever home."

There will be food trucks and live music by One, a duo that plays Elvis Presley songs and classic rock.

"Obviously, people are welcome to bring their dogs, and they have to be leashed," Casson said. "It's a great family day because there's a lot going on, but it's also a great day to come out and support and just enjoy the day out and do a little shopping. We've got a good variety of vendors this year."

Casson said it's her favorite event to host at Britain Hill. "I love animals," she said. "I have a rescue. I like to be able to give a platform to the nonprofits who don't have a brick-and-mortar building so that they can gain exposure to show what their services provide. It allows the community to know a little bit more about them, and they benefit in the proceeds."
