HOTLR Needs You for Dogtoberfest at the Domain

Okay, all you hot weather warriors out there, it looks like we just might get our break.  I am fresh from checking the KVUE weather forecast and it looks to me like there are no 90 degree days in the forecast for the next 7 days!!!  Wahoo, we survived....even though sadly, our yards may not have.

With such magnificent weather on the way, I can't think of a better way to celebrate then to spend the day outside on Saturday October, 22 from 10am - 4pm attending the 2011 Dogtoberfest at the Domain.  Events include a doggy costume contest, agility demonstrations, wiener dog races, raffles, a silent auction, a pet photo booth, food, drinks and locally-owned business booths with great products and more.

Dogtoberfest is an Austin based, non-profit organization, created for the purpose of instilling awareness about Dog rescue, as well as raising much needed moneys for local dog rescue organizations. Named "Most Awesome-ist Pet Related Event" in the 2010 Austin Pets Directory Annual Readers Poll, the annual event brings thousands of dog lovers together at the  Domain for fun, food and dog related events such as a costume contest, pet demonstrations and more throughout the day. Last year approximately 2,500 people and their canine companions attended this one day event and we expect many more in 2011!!

Heart of Texas Lab Rescue is one of the 8 chosen rescue groups to benefit from this year's event.  That's why it is so important that we have a good showing of Lab fans, volunteers, HOTLR alumni, and HOTLR fosters currently available for adoption.  Don't worry, you won't have to stay all day.  Go to the HOTLR website and sign up for a 1-2 hour time slot.  Show off your beautiful adopted Lab or gorgeous foster dog.  Don't be shy!!!  We want HOTLR to have the best booth at the event!  Bring the whole family, schmooze for an hour, show off your dog and enjoy the event.  Maybe your husband will even agree to hold the leash while you sneak off to do a little shopping?  What better way to spend the day with your dog and family??
