The 15th annual James Bond-themed PAWS Gala, benefiting the Galveston Island Humane Society, was held Sept. 12 at the Galveston Island Convention Center at the San Luis. More than 600 guests enjoyed a night of martinis, dinner and dancing. Highlights of the evening included special recognition of longtime humane society volunteer and board member Diana Barr as this year’s honoree. In addition, Christi Jensen was recognized as the winner of the Elite Pet Owner contest for 2015, along with her dog Roscoe, named Pet of the Year. Both Jensen and Roscoe will be parade marshals in the 2016 Krewe of Barkus & Meoux Parade set for Feb. 7 as part of the city’s annual Mardi Gras celebration. Photos by Robyn Bushong
