Mylo and I went to work Saturday night volunteering at the first annual Brooklyn Bridge Pup Crawl, in an effort to raise money and awareness for the estimated 1 million pets losing their homes due to foreclosures this year. We had the pleasure of walking across the Bridge along side 400 amazing dogs and their loving owners!I hear that the night raised over $3,000 and counting! The money will be divided amoung shelters across the US. From our beloved Brooklyn based BARC , Get-A-Life Pet Rescue of Fort Lauderdale Florida and Ace of Hearts in Los Angeles.Joseph Hassan animal lover, PR pro and creator of The Pup Crawl mentioned that $20 is enough to feed one shelter pet for an entire month! His hope is that animals given up due to foreclosures will be able to spend a little time in shelters or foster homes, then be readopted by their original families when they're back on their feet.The event was so meaningful for me, as I am so blessed with the greatest shelter dog imaginable! Mylo and I had a great time! We even got to take home an awesome t-shirt for volunteering, an illuminated lead from LuLu Leash to light up the bridge, and yummy doggie treats!
