August — or as canine lovers like to call it, DOGust — is national dog month, and it's time to paw-ty!

DOGust is the universal birthday month for shelter dogs. This special month was created to honor adopted or rescued dogs whose true birthdays are unknown. DOGust ensures that every dog gets a birthday, even if it's not their actual one.

And to celebrate this special month, Animal Samaritans is hosting its 5th annual DOGust birthday bash, which will take place Aug. 23 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Sky Ballroom at the Rowan in Palm Springs. Guests will enjoy wine, lunch and bingo hosted by local drag talent Miss Burna and will have the opportunity to win "pawesome" prizes, including a staycation at the Rowan. On hand will be adoptable dogs and puppies. Personal pets will not be permitted
