Event: and now for a very different Valentine's Day, Puppy Love!

read on Geoffrey Knight's blog: http://geoffreyknight.blogspot.com/2010/02/hey-guys-wanna-do-something-special-on.html  

From: Friday, February 12, 2010, 18.00
To: Sunday, February 14, 2010, 17.00
Where: MELBOURNE - Edinburgh Gardens Fitzroy & SYDNEY - Sydney Dogs & Cats Home



PetRescue and Singles Volunteers are getting together for Valentines Day to help out both people and homeless pets who are looking for someone special.

Puppy Love is two special events which will be held in Melbourne (the night of Friday 12 Feb) and in Sydney (the afternoon of Sunday 14 Feb) for people who want to make a difference to lost and abandoned dogs and cats, while meeting other people with a similar interest in animal welfare.

SYDNEY - the event will be held at the Sydney Dogs & Cats Home on Sunday 14 Feb between 2pm and 5pm.

Over 150 volunteers are expected (they will be painting & refurbishing the concrete dog kennels, building cat towers, washing dogs with the Hydrobath, walking impounded dogs etc). It's a good opportunity to do something constructive for the shelter, meet the facility's animals plus learn more about the shelter and what you can do.

MELBOURNE - the event will be held in the Edinburgh Gardens in Fitzroy on Friday the 12th of Feb from 6pm to 9pm.

The event is to support a number of PetRescue's Victorian-based rescue groups. Volunteers will be forming "rescue committees' for dogs that have been in foster care for some time. In order to try to find a Valentine for these dogs groups will be completely re-doing the dogs' profile (pics/videos etc) for the PetRescue website, and brainstorming new ideas for rehoming these and other rescue pets plus lots of other fun things on the night.

Tickets are $70 pp (all proceeds to go to the animals)

Geoffrey Knight and a bunch of single gay volunteers will be at the Puppy Love same-sex singles day at the Sydney Cats and Dogs Home. They'll be overhauling dog kennels and cat cages in an afternoon of fixing, flirting and painting for a purpose.
