On Tuesday night I hosted Rock and Roll for Fido with
Andrea Rodgers. Andrea and I are both raising money for the Washington Humane Society's Fashion for Paws event. We committed to raising $3000 each for the opportunity to walk on the runway during the Fashion for Paws event.
I am happy to announce that both Andrea and I have hit our goal. I was able to raise funds through direct donations, in-kind sponsorships (which are not reflected on my fundraising page) and funds raised at the Rock and Roll for Fido event.
This year I will be rocking the runway with my Maltese, Lacy, by my side. (Remy has opted to sit out of this event, he says he has had enough of the puparazzi and would prefer a quiet evening at home)
Our good friend Jeff Lutton is only $95 from reaching his goal. Jeff is the owner of
Dogtopia of Alexandria and can use your help to get to his goal. You can purchase your ticket or contribute to Jeff's fundraising campaign

Join the Washington Humane Society on Wednesday July 1st for a Purrfectly Patriotic Cat Adoption Event at their New York Avenue Shelter.
Dogtopia of Alexandria is hosting a K9 dog wash to support police dogs on Sunday July 19th. A few years ago tragedy struck in Prince William County when a working K9 was accidentally shot by a fellow police officer who did not realize that it was a police K9. To help prevent this from happening in Alexandria, this fund raiser will go towards the purchase of tracking harnesses for all of the Alexandria Police K-9's. These harnesses clearly identify the canines as police K9's and are complete with police badges. The harness also have an infra-red light that can be tracked by a helicopter. The harnesses will let everyone know they are police K9's and will hopefully ensure that a tragic accident will not happen in Alexandria.
On Wednesday, July 29 the city's VIP will be seen at the W hotel for the Wednesday Warm-up for KEENfest. KEEN is a national, nonprofit volunteer-led organization that provides one-to-one exercise and recreational opportunities for children & young adults with developmental and physical disabilities. There are a limited number of tickets, so be sure to buy yours now.
