I am on the way to Camp Bow Wow for the Cupids and Canine Event!
Here is Camp Bow Wow’s Press Release~~
MATCHING HEARTS AND PAWS!
Camp Bow Wow’s Cupids and Canine Event February 13, 2010
Boise, Id. – With Valentine’s Day approaching and puppy love in the air, Camp Bow Wow® locations across the nation will once again act as matchmaker for humans seeking their furry, four-pawed soul mates.
Camp Bow Wow Boise is hosting the second annual Cupids & Canines celebration from Noon to 3:00 p.m. on Feb. 13 at 3430 South TK Avenue.
The event aims to raise awareness and funds for a pack of worthy canine causes, including the Boise Humane Society, Meridian Valley Humane Society, Northwest Animal Companions, SNIP and Camp Bow Wow’s Bow Wow Buddies Foundation.
This loving event doubles as an adopt-a-thon for animals in need of forever homes and as a fundraiser for The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation and other humane organizations. Camps are partnering with local rescue groups who will have plenty of adoptable puppies and dogs on hand, as well as information on how to meet other worthy pups in need of good homes.
Throughout the month of February, matchmaking is happening across the country as humans and pups fall in love at Camp Bow Wow Cupids & Canines events.
“As we grow, it’s truly wonderful to see so many of our franchisees giving back to their communities by helping dogs and shelters in need,” said Heidi Ganahl, founder and CEO of Camp Bow Wow. “The money we raise for our foundation will not only support foster care and adoption programs, but it will also help fund research for canine cancer which takes one in four of our beloved pets.”
Guests at the Camp Bow Wow Boise Cupids and Canines event will enjoy snacks and beverages, and special guests! TJ Smith from Companions Training will be on hand to give training tips and discuss ways to correct difficult behaviors; Danielle from Broadway Vet will be educating all of us on H3N8 Canine Influenza; Pups the Traveling Labrador (http://pupsthetravelinglabrador.com/) will be making a special appearance and will be posing for photos with all our adoptable canine friends and visitors. SNIP will have a table and can offer opportunities for low cost spay and neuters; several other local rescue groups will be on hand to show their adoptable dogs and try to match loving humans with canine companions!
Raffle tickets will be available for sale to help raise funds for the participating shelters and rescues. Just a few of the items for raffle are: a one hour massage from Kelley Riviere CMT (Weed Woman Holistic Health), Lunch for four from Zeppole Bakery, Gift Certificate from Hugo’s Deli, Basket of Goodies (Camp Bow Wow), Hand made wooden toy box from Mike Willett. These are just a sampling of the fantastic items up for raffle from local businesses. Door prizes will be awarded to some lucky visitors, such as a free year of Fido Friendly Magazine and other great items.
