It's hot, dogs are being dumped left and right, and shelters don't have the funds to save everyone. So, Dog House Training Academy put on a little fundraiser to help raise awareness and to raise some money for our favorite rescues, White German Shepherd Dog Rescue and Home Fur Good.
Our event started at 5pm on Saturday, August 20th, and by 5:02, the place was packed! We had tons of doggie treats, and various doggie items donated to the cause; we had an overflowing table of human goodies, and a pool in the back for everyone to cool off in. Our raffle table was stocked with everything from free training to an IPod to baskets full of beauty products! Nancy from WGSDR took our Pet Luau photos, and everyone had on their model faces! Check out the Luau Pictures! By 8pm, the sun was down, and all the doggies had gone home. We ended our evening raising over $350 for charity! The rescues had donation bins at their tables as well and pulled in several hundred on their own. All in all, I'd say it was a good evening. :)
Best features: all the new faces I was able to meet, getting a visit from Axel, it didn't smell TOO much like wet dog lol, and I didn't get bit or peed on the entire evening! Note: when you're a dog trainer, you appreciate the little things in life :)
Thanks everyone for making this event possible!
