The first Pug Meetup Group party at Animal Haven Soho was a HIT!

Everyone had a fabulous time and is looking forward to playing there regularly. We estimate that over the course of 2 ½ hours, 65 pugs and upwards of 120 humans passed through the doors eating and partying. While no amount would ever be “enough” in my eyes, we were able to raise $515 for AH through per pug fees ($5.00 each) and our donation raffle (to be a regular happening at every one of our AH Soho events). We also collected a few product donations (case of paper towels, garbage bags, Windex, dishwasher detergent, etc.).

So, needless to say, I think this was the start to a beautiful relationship!

Vanessa Williams and Home Again celebrate Animal Haven's ribbon cutting!

Vanessa Williams attended Animal Haven's ribbon cutting this morning amidst a bevy of paparazzi. She first worked with Animal Haven five years ago and was pleased to be visiting again for this special event which was in conjunction with Home Again.

Two teams of veterinarians and vet techs were on hand to offer free microchipping of both cats and dogs. Home Again gave all participants free activation as well as a first year of free membership.

I wonder what costume I will wear...
