Work Like A Dog, Play Like a Pup: A Double Celebration on Friday, June 22, 2012

Nov. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- San Diego – November 7, 2011 – Pet expert Arden Moore knows dogs. She knows parties. And she knows how to party with a purpose. That’s why she created National Dog Party Day™ with the second annual set for Friday, June 22, 2012 in San Diego, New York City, Miami and Los Angeles. She is teaming up with Pet Sitters International (PSI), creators of Take Your Dog to Work Day™ to unleash a full day of working hard, playing hard with the goal of hosting celebrations across the country in subsequent years.

Two of the four nonprofit benefactors have been identified: the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC Animals and SNAP of San Diego County. The other two benefactors will be named soon.

“It’s time to party with a purpose, America! Who better to have as your party partner than your well-mannered dog?” declares Moore, noted pet trend expert, founder of Four Legged Life.com and host of the Oh Behave show on Pet Life Radio.com, the world’s top-rated pet podcast.

Sponsorships are now available to participate in this national pet event staged in four locations. Sponsorship opportunities are available from $500. Contact Beth Stultz (bethstultz@petsit.com) and Dana Humphrey (dana@whitegatepr.com) for details.
Each three-hour party will occur simultaneously on both coasts at night. Earlier in the day – all across America – offices will open their doors to employees’ four-legged friends to participate in the 14th annual Take Your Dog to Work Day that champions adopting pets from animal shelters.

June 22, 2012 is a true Double Dog Day Celebration as pet lovers will “work like a dog by day and party like a pup at night.” At the parties, people and their well-mannered dogs will participate in special activities and have the chance to win more than $5,000 in fabulous prizes provided by top pet product companies and celebrities, including Dr. Marty Becker, America’s Family Veterinarian.

This is a RSVP-event and attendees are asked to make a suggested $10 donation (or more) with net proceeds benefiting their location’s targeted charity benefactor. For more details, visit National Dog Party Day and Take Your Dog to Work Day sites.
