Canine Cocktail Pawty A Hit!


As we prepare to open our new adoption center and boutique, I am amazed at the support we have received from the pet lovers in NYC. Although the facility isn't open yet -- we have been offering puppy and adult training classes, agility classes and lots of fun events for dogs.

I have become great friends with the Andrea Arden agility crew, our lil dog social visitors and all of the breed meetups that rent our space for their monthly get-togethers...Animal Haven Soho is already the place to be for animal lovers.
One of these visitors, Jenna Gates, runs the Shiba Inu meet-up group. She is a huge supporter of what AH Soho is all about and wanted to help! She thought -- meetups are fun ... but let's turn it up a notch and through a cocktail party...within weeks, she had a caterer, bartender,raffles prizes and bakery for the four-legged friends.

Jenna, along with the help of Lillian, the Shiba Inu assistant organizer, and all of the other volunteers threw a terrific party. While the people got to mingle with wonderful cocktails and treats from Gotham Caterers, the pooches ran around our big events space. Occasionally, they took a break and visited the Buttercup Pawti-tisserie table!
It was such a success, I think they are planning a second one in a few months...will keep you posted. Please visit the Shiba Inu Meetup Site: http://shibainu.meetup.com/101/

Thanks to all those who helped! -Jennifer
