The 15th annual Fur Ball, sponsored by The Morris Animal Refuge, will be held at the Arts Ballroom this year, and will feature a five-hour open bar, hors d’oeuvres, carving station, DJ and jazz trio. All proceeds from ticket sales, silent auction and raffle prizes directly benefit the Morris Animal Refuge and their mission to raise awareness for abandoned pets.

Sat., March 31, 7 p.m., $99–$139, Arts Ballroom, 1324 Locust St., 215-554-6808, phillyfurball.com, morrisanimalrefuge.org.

So what if you love football and spooning with your dog? Support the PSPCA Humane Law Enforcement Division while attending a Philadelphia Soul game. Choose from nine charity games at the Wells Fargo Center and your ticket will include upgraded seats, autographs and a pass to meet and greet with the players.

Select dates April 1–July 22, $35, Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St., 215-336-3600, wellsfargocenterphilly.org, philadelphiasoul.com.

Not only do our pets love us unconditionally, they also keep us in shape. Get active with your pet at the 10th annual 5k Red Cross Walk and Run to Save Lives. The event raises money for disaster victims and participants are encouraged to bring their dog along.

Walk and Run: Sat., April 21, 7 a.m., Red Cross Walk and Run, Memorial Hall, Fairmount Park, 4231 N. Concourse Drive, 215-405-8888, redcrosswalkandrun.org.

The following day, test your frisbee skills at Pawsome Doubles, the disc golf tournament to benefit the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).

Pawsome Doubles: Sun., April 22, 1 p.m., Sedgley Woods Disc Golf Course, 33rd and Oxford streets, 215-238-9901, phillypaws.org.
