The Powder Hounds Story: This past fall, Ray Phillips and his wife Wendy stopped by the Humane Society to drop off donations to our Thrift Store. Of course being animal lovers, they couldn’t leave without saying “hi” and playing with the dogs in our yard. Both were blown away by how much fun the dogs were having, and the dedication of the volunteers working with the dogs. They looked at each and asked, “what can we do to help?”. Driving back home, Ray and Wendy began to scheme ideas, Ray a prolific artist; represented in galleries across the US, Canada and Mexico, along with Wendy a freelance photographer and an avid skier with a resume of volunteer fundraising experiences knew there was something they could do. That’s when the idea for “Powder Hounds Art Auction” was born!

Exhibit boards in and around the city of Durango, CO for a month long on-going silent auction, where the public can view and bid on boards. 100% proceeds from the Powder Hounds Art Auction will be donated to La Plata County Humane Society (LPCHS)
