Pet Photos With Uncle Sam
ByPet Photos with Uncle Sam Raised Several Hundred Dollars For Lab Rescuers & Got ‘Cooper’ Adopted
Hermosa Beach, CA – On Saturday June 30th, The Studly Pooch held its 1st annual Pet Photos with Uncle Sam fundraiser. Twenty four dog owners came to get their dog’s photographed by Erin Tomanek of Paw Prints Photograpy.
There was no charge for the 5×7 professional photo, but The Studly Pooch was accepting donations for a local animal charity.
By the end of the day several hundred dollars had been raised and ‘Cooper’, a dog available for adoption, found a new home.
The Studly Pooch, along with Paw Prints, funded the event so that the Lab Rescuers could receive all of the money raised.
“This year is the first time we’ve done something like this,” said coordinator Wes Murph. Murph added, “We’re definitely going to make it an annual event since the turnout was incredible.”
Also on hand was Jeanine Curcione from the Bichons and Buddies adoption organization. Jeanine said of the event, “I couldn’t have been happier, especially since Cooper was adopted.”
Ms. Curcione added, “Cooper is a ‘special needs’ dog that we found hit by a car. He had to undergo thousands of dollars of operations and we weren’t sure if he was going to get adopted. It really was exciting for us to find him a home.”
The Studly Pooch offers professional spa treatments for dogs and cats including: the cherry remoisturizer, shed reduction and the ever popular blueberry facial.
