Top Dog Stylist Helps New York City's Homeless Pets

New York, NY, -Celebrity dog stylist Jorge Bendersky raised over $2000 in just two hours for New York City's Animal Haven Shelter and Adoption Center. Jorge, one of the contestants of Animal Planet's new reality competition show, Groomer Has It, hosted a special screening and fund-raising party at Chelsea's Gym Bar. This party not only raised needed funds but also raised awareness about the city's pet overpopulation.

The popular bar was full of animal lovers including Jorge's clients, supporters of the shelter and fellow contestant, Jonathan. Jorge is excited to use his experience on Groomer Has It to help shelter animals and increase adoptions. When not grooming New York City's elite dogs, he plans to organize more fundraisers, special grooming workshops and special events.

Groomer Has It airs on Animal Planet every Saturday at 9pm. For more information about Jorge, please visit www.groomerhasit.com and www.planetjorge.com
