Mouthfuls Goes to Hollywood with The American Dog Magazine!








Talk about a dream weekend! Saturday I was invited to attend Much Love's 3rd Annual Bow Wow Wow Howlywood Celebrity Fundraiser in Hollywood with the publisher of The American Dog Magazine (which I write for).

Much Love is a no-kill organization run entirely by volunteers that rescues companion animals from death row at Los Angeles shelters. The animals are spayed/neutered and vaccinated before being placed with loving, grateful owners, often through their foster network. They do not yet have a shelter of their own but it's a goal they've put in place for 2010.

As you can see from the photos, this organization has a huge celebrity following and media support. The American Dog Magazine was a sponsor of the event this year, and it's worth mentioning that it is the only magazine that donated/sponsored the event, despite the amazing media coverage at the Gala. The American Dog Magazine is committed to animal rescue and the publisher, Jamie Downey puts her money where her mouth is!

A special thanks to Carole Raphaelle Davis (who was honored at the event for her work against puppy mills) and Kevin Rooney for hosting us over the weekend. It was so nice to spend time with such passionate animal lovers who work tirelessly for those with no voice.
