Well,
it's spring time again and with the spring comes Puppy Love! Pet Pal Animal Shelter's 13th annual Puppy
Love Benefit is on Saturday May 9th from 6 PM to10 PM at the Historic Coliseum
in St. Petersburg. This is Pet Pal's largest fundraiser of the year. It is VITAL to the day-to-day operation of
the shelter, providing much needed funds for the care and recuperation of the
animals.
This
year's "uncorked" evening will include dinner, silent and live
auctions, "puppy pimping" (sloppy kisses - no charge), 50/50 raffle,
live music, and much more! A few of the
silent auction items include a 3-night stay at Atlantis Casino Resort, a TradeWinds
Guy Harvey Outpost Resort weekend, 2 tickets to Counting Crows concert on July
31st, 2 tickets to Garth Brooks concert on June 6th,
season tickets to the Florida Orchestra, a spa package from Royal Palms Spa, a 3-hour
sunset cruise on the Freedom III, Marc Jacobs sunglasses, a Kate Spade scarf
and Bella Capelli hairstyle basket, and a whole lot more. There will be about 200 auction items in all,
so there’s a little something for everyone.
Although
I've been volunteering at the shelter for nearly 3 years now, I've never been
able to attend this event but I've heard so much about it over the years that
my husband and I decided to sign up to volunteer there this year and will
finally be getting in on the fun too! Keep
reading this Happy Tails blog for future posts on the highlights of the
evening. And if anyone is still
interested in volunteering, donating, or buying
tickets to attend, call Pet Pal at (727) 328-7738 or visit
www.petpalanimalshelter.com for more information. There will also be a final Puppy Love meeting
for all volunteers on Sunday May 3rd at 2 PM at the shelter to go over
last-minute details.
With
less than 2 weeks to go until the big night, there's still lots to be done
which means plenty of craziness at the shelter...even more than usual! So we welcome anyone and everyone willing to
lend a "paw" to help the animals.
They're depending on all of us to make this event a success...so let's
all share some Puppy Love!
Happy
tails to you until we meet again!
