Wags and Walks will host a dog fostering orientation at 11 a.m. followed by dog adoption from noon to 3 p.m.
"Wags and Walks is thrilled to partner with the CMC. Our goals align seamlessly towards furthering our mission," said Kathryn Hurley, development coordinator for Wags and Walks. "I know this relationship will not only lead to more dogs being adopted, but also stronger educators and advocates regarding the importance of pet rescue. Plus, what is better than fashion and a puppy kiss!?"
There will also be a raffle for prizes such as Vrai and Oro's “Gold Bar” necklace. Each raffle tickets is $2 and all the proceeds will benefit Wags and Walks.
"The CMC is very excited to be collaborating with a phenomenal organization like Wags and Walks," said event producer Alyssa Olmstead, CMC senior marketing, public relations and retail relations manager. "This is one more way for us to get more involved in our community, and finding a way to build awareness of overcrowded shelters and support dog adoptions through the fashion industry has been extremely rewarding for us. We have received an enormous outpouring of support from notable companies who share in our desire to make a difference. This is just the first of many more, new community events to come."
Admission to the event is $5 (cash only) per person. The sample sale and dog adoption event is being held concurrently with the monthly Fashion District sample sales (held on the last Friday of the month).
