Paws for a Cause was held on Sunday at the Renaissance Hotel. The event benefited the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Barkley Square and Karing by Kristina were on hand to provide a yummy Bark Bar full of treats for all of the four legged guests.

Attendees enjoyed a vendor row where companies like KBK and Barkley brought the latest and greatest in pet treats, clothes and accessories. There was a caricature artist on hand to capture the evening on paper and a doggie psychic to help everyone understand what the dogs were thinking.

ABC 7 News Anchor, Leon Harris served as Master of Ceremonies and the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Milan was the evening’s Keynote speaker.

The adoptable pet of the week is Bo. He is a 1 year old Domestic Short Hair. Bo is one super cat! He’s an outgoing boy who loves meeting new people and looking for new adventures. Bo was brought to the shelter because his previous guardians moved into a new home that didn’t allow pets. He’s now looking for a loving, forever home where he can be the life of the party! Bo enjoys being petted, playing with cat toys (especially stuffed mice), and sharing in some meaningful conversation. He would probably do best in a home with another playful, energetic cat. Bo has a very tolerant personality and also would probably enjoy living with a cat-friendly dog. Come meet this awesome boy today!

Bo is available at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. Dedicated to the welfare of both animals and people in our community, the League operates the Vola Lawson Animal Shelter and cares for unwanted and homeless animals, places animals in permanent, loving homes, and also offers many programs and services to help animals and their companions.

If Bo is adopted by someone after reading this article, I would like to offer them a pet goody bag from Barkley Square Bakery and a $50 gift certificate to Karing by Kristina Complete Pet Care Professionals for their next pet sitting service. Please send me an email at Michelle@karingbykristina.com with your adoption story!
