Where we’ve left our mark!
Hollywoof – a unique in-door “movie night for your dogs” hosted in Oakland, CA. The fundraiser event and mixer was attended by over 200 humans and 100 canines, and helped raise money for animal rescue efforts nationally. Canine guests were given the “green” carpet treatment, free massages, shots at the doggy bar, and best seats in the house. Event sponsors included Jamba Juice, Kraft/Oscar Mayer and many local businesses.
MINE the Movie – we are a proud sponsor of MINE, a powerful story about the essential bond between humans and animals told against the backdrop of one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history, Hurricane Katrina.
