For those without a date, the PSPCA will match guests with eligible ‘bachelor and bachelorette’ dogs looking for a home. They will also present a Kitty Korner for those that prefer to flirt with feline adoptables. Finally, an animal behaviorist will provide consultations at a special “Dog House.”
Puppy Love Valentines Party returns in 2013 after taking a “cat nap” in 2012 when the event outgrew the former space.
Since its inception in 2006, the event has attracted 1,000+ attendees and raised nearly $30,000 in ticket sales and in-kind donations. Susan Schlisman, owner of Smokin’ Betty’s and Devil’s Alley, created the event to raise funds for local animal shelters. Schlisman is a lifelong animal lover and advocate, and past PSPCA volunteer, who will attend this year with her Yorkie Sayde. Recommended attire for Puppy Love is dog park finest, ie. mart casual. Tickets are on sale now for $40 at Event Brite. Puppy Love is open to those 21 and up. ALL funds raised will be donated to the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PSCPA).
