Ha! Comedy for Rescue Dogs
Posted by Lizz on 06/10/2007
Categories: NYC Event
On June 4th, the Humane Society and Mighty Mutts received the proceeds from a comedy event called Sit, Stay, and Stand-Up!.
Another comedy event was held on May 23rd to benefit Smiling Pit Bull Rescue and Paws All Around called Funny For Fido. (As mentioned in the NY Post)
This marriage of comedy and dog rescue couldn’t be any more appropriate, because as with both, you need an open heart and mind to truly appreciate what you are getting.
Let’s hope for more canine-related comedy to come!

Check out the ASPCA Day event at Union Square today from 4-8 pm.
Keep your eyes peeled for people wearing orange and show your support for the organization that takes a bite out of animal cruelty by sporting some orange yourself!
Even the Empire State Building will be wearing their support for the ASPCA tonight.

Thank you, Lenny the Pug

Categories: NYC Event
The birthday party last Sunday for Lenny the pug was a lot of fun and Animal Haven surely benefits every year as Lenny’s celebration gets bigger and better! We won the “Big Dog” raffle basket (including a new squeaky kong toy), ate a burrito, and took home a goody bag full of snacks that the pooch really loves! Thanks, Lenny and friends. See you next year!

Event: Lenny the Pug’s 2nd Birthday Bash
Posted by Lizz on 03/21/2007
Categories: NYC Event
Lenny is going to be 2-years-young on April 1st and he’s throwing a birthday bash to celebrate.
Animal Haven will receive proceeds from this party and friendly dogs are invited to boogie down.
If you haven’t had the pleasure to meet Lenny, he is a member of the Pug Meetup Group and is a local celebrity dog who spreads good cheer with his birthdays and website (where you can nab some fun stuff like Lenny stamps and luxuries for your dogs while supporting animal rescue at the same time).
If you think that Lenny has a full plate, think again. He also does party planning and consulting on the side when he’s not trying to help his homeless friends.
See you at the party!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

In case you really want to indulge with your pooch today, go ahead and get some Happy Tail Ale or Kwispelbier (non-alcoholic pooch brews). Otherwise, just give him a carrot and he’ll be just as happy!
