Dog & Kitty City will participate in Pooches on the Parkway, an adoption event that starts on Saturday, March 27th. The event is going to take place on every 4th Saturday of each month, between 11 am and 3 pm. It will be in Village on the Parkway, in the parking area on the west side of TGI Friday's.
We will have an adoption booth on the opening day, so make sure you stop by! If it goes well, we'll do it again. You can meet some of our dogs, and dogs from 14 other adoption agencies. This is shaping up to be a great event for dog lovers, and a nice way to spend the spring weather with like-minded people.
Date:
Saturday, March 27, 2010 (and possibly every 4th Saturday of each month afterward)
Join us for the 4th annual DOG BOWL at FAIR PARK on Sunday, April 11 when the Cotton Bowl will be turned into a giant–size Dog Park. Humane Society of Dallas County will have a booth at this event. Dogs and their owners will be "unleashed" on the Cotton Bowl field, where there will be fun contests, a style show, live entertainment, dog crafts, photos on the jumbotron, giant dog bowls, misting ponds, dog & owner concessions along with many exhibitor booths!
A busy Saturday at Petsmart, with the DKC dogs on their day out and the DKC cats running all over the Luvapet center. It was shaping as a usual weekend for DKC, but the day brought its surprise twist when Mirna Urquidez presented Claudia Bankston with a check. Mirna had selected DKC as her charity of choice at her workplace, and we were one of the winners! See the picture with Nancy Thomas, Mirna Urquidez, Claudia Bankston, Jeff Lee, Manager of Petsmart, and Juan Villamizar, one of the assistant managers, accepting the check.
But that's not the only way Mirna helped us. She adopted a dog from DKC, which Randy and Nancy had fostered, and she also fostered kitties she rescued that were adopted at Luvapet. DKC is very lucky to have Mirna Urquidez as a loyal fan and friend. We're also happy to work with these dedicated people at Petsmart, whose smiling faces you can see in the photos (after the jump).

We hope everyone is enjoying their holidays! A little late, here are many pictures from the Dog & Kitty City raffle drawing on December 13th at Lee Harvey's. The dogs had a great time running around and sniffing at food on the tables, while the humans enjoyed a bright warm day out (until the sun set, at least) and a talented band, Aberdeen.
We all heard who'd won the prizes and sneaked in a few pictures with Santa. Dog & Kitty City volunteers met again a few dogs adopted from the shelter, who had been brought by their adopters to join in the fun. Scrappy the dog, still recovering from his surgeries but very inquisitive and friendly, received a lot of attention from volunteers and visitors. There was a bit of something for everyone.
Here are the pictures. Please click on thumbnails for a somewhat larger view.
