Attention Pet Lovers!

Post by Michael Deneen »

Assistant Observer Reporter Charlie Deneen, shown here at the recent March for Science, invites local animal lovers to attend the CCLAS "Hair of the Dog" Happy Hour and Silent Auction fundraiser on May 18 at Around The Corner.
The event, which runs from 5:30 to 8:30pm, benefits the homeless dogs and cats of Lakewood. Charlie, who was abandoned on the streets of Lakewood in 2006, is one of hundreds of animals that has gotten a second chance at life thanks to CCLAS.

Advance tickets are $25 each, and are available to purchase at http://cclas.org/HOD2017.html until Noon on Tuesday, May 16th. We encourage you to buy your tickets in advance because this is always a sell-out crowd, but guests can also purchase their ticket at the door for $30. (Please note: there are no physical tickets - guests who have purchased advance tickets online can simply check in at the door.)

If you are unable to attend but would like to help, consider donating an item to the silent auction. This is also a great way to promote your local business.
You can find the donation form at this link: http://cclas.org/HOD2017.html

Only a few days left before the big event!

Also among the auction prizes are great pet-related donations from local businesses like Inn The Doghouse and Darwin Dogs.
Willy doesn't often allow his picture taken, but he wants to salute these and many other local businesses for their support.
Willy is another "alum" of the Lakewood Animal Shelter....he was abandoned in a Lakewood apartment when his family moved. Now he lives a happy life thanks to CCLAS.

One more reminder that the HOTD event is Thursday at Around the Corner.
Lots of great silent auction items, including gift certificates to local restaurants and a $25 Visa Gift card from First Federal of Lakewood.
Also, autographed sports items and game tickets from both local and out-of-town teams.
(Can you believe it.....the Steelers were the very first sports team to donate)

If you need a little more motivation, please meet the newest member of my family......here's Oscar.
I adopted him Saturday from the shelter. He was found two months ago emaciated and sickly on the cold streets of Lakewood.
CCLAS volunteers took him to vet appointments and fostered him back to health.
Now he has a second chance at life.

Here he is on his "freedom ride" to a forever home.
