Joshua Tree No-Kill Shelter is more than a place where animals find new homes—it’s a community of animal lovers coming together for a great cause. Our events are fun, feel-good gatherings that help raise the funds the shelter needs to stay afloat, support our animals, and keep the doors open.
Come enjoy the good vibes, wagging tails, and happy moments—and help make a real difference for animals, one event at a time. Scroll down to see our events!

🎨🐾 A FIRST-EVER GALLERY BENEFIT SHOW FOR JOSHUA TREE NO-KILL SHELTER 🐾🎨
Art + Animal Rescue Join Hands! ❤️
La Matadora Gallery is teaming up with the Joshua Tree No-Kill Shelter for the shelter’s first-ever gallery-style benefit event! 🖼️🐶🐱
This no-theme, eclectic collection features artwork generously donated by local artists and collectors. The work will be displayed at La Matadora Gallery, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the shelter to help provide care, enrichment, and medical needs for the animals. 🐾❤️
✨ A special highlight: The Artist Shag has generously donated a framed print titled “Dog Meet I”, which will be available through a silent auction. 🖼️🐕
🏆 The winning bidder will be announced at 6:00 PM on Saturday, November 7.
In addition to the silent auction piece, all artwork will be available for purchase at the event, with proceeds supporting the Joshua Tree No-Kill Shelter. Every piece sold helps homeless animals while they wait for their forever homes. 🐾🏡
This event marks the first formal gallery presentation for the shelter, turning art into a powerful way to make a difference for animals in need. 🎨❤️🐾
👀 A partial preview of the artwork and event entertainment information is coming soon!
Come see the art. Support the artists. Help the animals!
“We’re thrilled to create a space where art lovers can support a good cause while enjoying a diverse display of work,” said a spokesperson for La Matadora Gallery. “Knowing that 100% of sales benefit the shelter makes this a unique opportunity to give back to the animals in our community. We encourage artists to contribute and collectors to come prepared to bid and buy for the cause.”
