Shampoo. Bark. Repeat. orlando
On September 27 Shampooch, held at Lambs Eat Ivy Salon in Thornton Park, in conjunction with Barktoberfest, is a fundraiser to help rescue groups with needed funding. Lisa Pirillo, the salon’s owner, has been running the event for eight years and was very happy about this year’s turnout which raised $14,500 for Florida Little Dog Rescue. Volunteers and salon employees shampooed dogs to raise money and awareness. “We start planning months in advance and pick the charity we want to fund a year in advance,” explained Lisa Pirillo.
Barktoberfest is an annual rescue appreciation event to celebrate
Florida Little Dog Rescue volunteers Laurie Johnson and Dana Van Zandt with Lisa Pirillo. Debra Konner, Florida Little Dog Rescue volun- teer and “forever foster mom” holds Mr. Magoo. Mr. Magoo was the cat- alyst for Pirillo choosing Florida Little Dog Rescue as this year’s rescue of choice. The dog had been dropped at OCAS. When Debra Konner visit- ed him, she knew adoption options would be slim. He was old and had an inoperable mass in his stomach. The organization believed Mr. Magoo should not die alone and decided to provide a hospice-type option for him, which is unusual for rescue organizations. When Lisa Pirelli heard his story, she and her staff knew they needed to help by funding the organi- zation this year.

Rain? What Rain? avalon park
Brightside Events has had a successful record pro- ducing the Doggie Derby at Baldwin Park for the last six years. Their decision to produce a second event this year at Avalon Park would not be damp- ened by a little rain. Humans and dogs alike had a blast during the soggy Saturday event held on September 20. Dogs of equal size competed against each other in a 25-yard race. The winner of each race advanced to the next race. The event benefited The Hispanic Heritage
