Dog Bowl IV

On Sunday we headed out for another event at TY Park in Hollywood, FL. A beautiful park with large trees creating a canopy over the event. There was music set up thanks to Scott Evans Productions, (TheEntertainmentMall.com) who plays a variety of music for all, food on the grill, a variety raffle and appx. 20 vendors. The event was in support of Boxer Friends Rescue Group.



Our adjacent vendor was no vendor at all, but the Old English Sheepdog Rescue of Florida, Inc. Candy and her husband Steve started the organization 8 years ago when they adopted an Sheepdog from Animal Services. Once they got to the car they quickly realized something was very wrong with Mr. Archie. He was very badly taken care of and had cysts the size of baseballs. But luck was on his side, one year later Mr. Archie was happy, healthy and loving life. At this time, Candy and Steve have 11 Sheepdogs and puppies in their home that are awaiting a new loving and caring home. If you are interested in adopting an Old English Sheepdog call Candy at (954) 434-4970 or email them at sprid13450@aol.com

A very special and outspoken cause was at the event as well, The Miami Coalition Against Breed Specific Legislation, where they are saving one breed at a time from Breed Specific Legislation. BSL means this: A statue or regulation that is directed toward one or more specific breeds of dogs. There are 75 breeds targeted by BSL among them are: American Pit Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, Doberman Pinscher, Siberian Husky and more.

One of the vendors that we actually purchased a beautiful doggy tag from was Cafe La Pooch, where they offer "Unique Tags For All Your Pets." They had a beautiful assortment of high quality dog tags that are made with your pet's information. Visit Cafelapooch.com to get your next dog's tag.
