Rescue Groups at Doggy Party on the Plaza

We saw several of our pup pals when we attended the 3rd Annual Doggy Party on the Plaza, this Saturday, April 21, at CityCentre hosted by PetTalk.  We saw celebrity emcees-- Deborah Duncan of Great Day Houston, Casey Curry of ABC's Channel 13 News,  and Laura Reynolds on Mix 95 along with over 50 vendors who showcased all-things-dog and raised money and awareness for local rescue groups like Lucky Dog Rescue and Lone Star Shih-Tzu and Lhasa Apso (who also organized an amazing raffle). There was also a RESCUE LANE and about a dozen adoption booths.  We also saw a no-kill awareness booth for Friends For Life.

It was good to see that the City of Houston was there. BARC and the Mayor Annise Parker was the Grand Marshal of the Rescue Me! Parade competition.  Eight area rescues competed for more than $6,000 in prizes for their rescue program including veterinary care, pet food, grooming, training, and boarding donated by incredible local pet businesses.

It was the most beautiful day in Houston and a perfect day to make a difference by caring and saving lives by supporting the rescue groups.  The event was sponsored by Houston Dog Ranch, Arne’s Warehouse, Petco and Carter’s Pet Depot. Waste removal provided by All About Doody.  Thanks to all the volunteers, non-profits, and businesses for the well-organized, dog-friendly event.

Where to Go for Valentine's Treats

By Sarah Rufca at CultureMap

02.11.12 | 08:45 am

Look, guys (and girls): Valentine's Day just isn't that hard.
You don't have to think outside the box or order something like a pajamagram. (Seriously, do not ever order anyone a pajamagram. Unless the message you are sending is "I don't ever want to see you naked again.")
Flowers. Candy. Kisses. Boom. Done.
I'm going to leave you to your own devices on the kissing and I know better than to predict flower preferences, but here's a quick list of where to get some of the best sweet treats in town.

Fluff Bake Bar
Fluff and Fat Cat Creamery are teaming up on a Valentine's Day bake sale to benefit Lucky Dog Rescue, with cupcakes, cookies (including Rebecca Masson's famed fluffernutters) and vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered cherries. Pick-ups are available every day until Feb. 14, but orders must be placed ASAP.

Happy Holidays and Special Thanks this Month

Special thanks to fashion and lifestyle photographer Jack Opatrny for donating his time and talents to raising funds for Lucky Dog Rescue and Lone Star ShihTzu and Lhasa Apso Rescue at Urban Bicycle Gallery this month.

We had a full waiting room of rescue pups and Bengal cats, so thank you to their proud moms and pops for showcasing their furbabies in a holiday setting.

Holiday Pet Photos at Urban Bicycle Gallery on 12/18/2010

Bring your pet and family to Urban Bicycle Gallery to pose in a holiday setting or white background setting. Urban Bicycle Gallery is located at 4814 Nett Street Houston, TX 77007.

The minimum suggested donation is $25.00 which includes the sitting fee plus one photo. Proceeds benefit Lucky Dog Rescue and Lone Star Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso Rescue.

We are honored to have the award-winning photographer Jack Opatrny of PhotoArt Studios, (http://www.jackophoto.com).
Jack’s personal interests include charitable causes ranging from animal rescue, environmental protection, and breast cancer awareness. His love of dogs inspired his recent pictorial, "Street Dogs of Mexico." This collection of black-and-white images calls attention to the massive problem of homeless dogs and captures their raw emotions and survival instincts as they struggle to survive roaming the cities of Mexico. He also supports several local dog rescue groups and has filmed a PSA for No-Kill Houston as well.
