The package also includes two nights at an area hotel.
The winning bidder and his or her guests will see the inner workings of Pixar Animation Studios and be among the first to see original artwork from Pixar’s latest film, “Monsters University,” which will be released June 21.
All proceeds benefit the Humane Society’s building fund.
The Humane Society bought 9.5 acres on Old Olympic Highway between Port Angeles and Sequim in October.
The three modular buildings on the property will house cats, administration and veterinary services.
A dog kennel facility must be built before the organization can move to the new location.
The cost of the facility is estimated at $1 million.
Auction items will be accepted at the shelter during regular business hours from 11 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
