Doggie Night Out  

What would it take to unite a fractured planet? It starts at home—with community. For one evening, people gathered on the same page, or canvas, to support the rescue of dogs through the organization FIX’N FIDOS. Founded and run by Kacey Montoya—yes, that Kacey Montoya, a 13-year veteran of local Channel 5—the organization made giving back approachable and fun through events like its “Paint & Sip Fundraiser.” This installment was hosted by Bootleggers Brewery in downtown Fullerton, where aspiring artists turned out in large numbers.

The sold-out event drew more than 40 participants, all lured by the promise of a cozy night filled with art, laughter, and community spirit. Each brushstroke contributed to giving a dog a second chance. Others attended for the food, drinks, and silent auction, with many also donating to the cause. FIX’N+FIDOS works to make animal care services accessible to families, seniors, veterans, and underserved communities facing financial hardship. The organization provides critical spay and neuter services and helps reduce the number of pets surrendered to city and county animal shelters.
