Spring is finally here! That
means it is time for the dogs of DC to get ready to strut down the catwalk for
the 8th annual Fashion for Paws Runway Show on April 12th
at the Omni Shoreham Hotel. Last
year my Labradoodle Frank and I had a great time walking the runway and were
thrilled to raise over $17,000. Since its inception Fashion for Paws has raised more than
three million dollars for the Washington Humane Society (WHS).
All proceeds from the
event benefit the nearly 43,000 lost, abused and neglected animals WHS cares
for every year need your help. Friendship
often provides emergency care for the animals of WHS and I have personally treated
many of the animals WHS Humane Law Enforcement Officers have brought in for
treatment. I also volunteer at the monthly CatNiPP spay/neuter clinic for
feral cats. This has given me a
first-hand view into the critical work that WHS provides for the animals
and people of our community.
Here is an example of how your donation
can directly improve the lives of animals in our community:
$35- Provides microchips for
6 animals
$50- Covers costs to spay or neuter a stray animal
$75- Buys 50 cat scratching posts for shelter kitties to play with
$100- Buys 10 Kong Dog toys for shelter pups to play with
$150- Pays for the average cost of one homeless animal's stay
$250- Helps fund medical examinations for 2 rescued animals
$500- Helps WHS Officers conduct a cruelty inspection
$1,000- Helps provide Heartworm tests for 150 animals
