Looking to put the “bar” in “bark”? Starting at 12:30pm this Sunday, May 4, at the Missouri Lounge, will be a benefit for Berkeley Humane. This isn’t just any fundraiser: This is a Rescued Dog Pageant, featuring ten dogs owned by the establishment’s bartenders, as they strut down the runway and compete in a talent content. Finally, there will be an awards ceremony, with the bar’s regular customers serving as the judges.
Those who attend will have the opportunity to win raffle prizes redeemable at local businesses and, of course, will have the opportunity to adopt a rescued dog on-site. There will also be drink specials!
According to East Bay Express, the idea started out as a joke, but when the idea was pitched that the dogs be rescued dogs, it became reality. The event will be hosted by local DJ Paul Pot, who also runs the bar’s weekly open mics.
You can surely expect to see some dogs in costumes and some tricks! So come out to support Berkeley Humane, and have a tail-waggin’ evening this Sunday. If you’re unfamiliar with Berkeley Humane:
From our humble beginnings in a renovated former pool hall in West Berkeley, Berkeley Humane continues to expand and adapt the services of the organization to meet the ongoing needs of the community's animals and their human guardians. Berkeley Humane's work would not be possible without its strong partnerships with local animal welfare groups and the support from animal-loving friends who share the Society's vision. Today, Berkeley Humane has thousands of supporters and volunteers, and remains steadfast in its practices to curb pet overpopulation in the East Bay and give pet guardians the tools they need to ensure that their pets remain happy and healthy in their homes for the rest of their lives.
