Dogs Deserve Better Chain Off 2008
June 28, 2008
10am (24 hr Event)
Capital Building
Austin, TX
Phone:512-803-2069

Comments:Friends of Doggies:
Attached you will find a flyer for an important event in Austin NEXT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY (June 28-29).
The way this will work is the coordinator of the event, Cheryl Kaminski, is going to chain herself for 24 hours to bring awareness for the plight of chained dogs everywhere. And even though Austin is now a Chain-Free City, we still need to remember that many other cities are not chain free and their dogs are forced to live sad and lonely lives at the end of the chain...their world just out of reach!
I am planning to join Cheryl for the chain off. I will not be chaining myself for 24 hours, though, and you need not either but you can show up and chain yourself for as long as you can. A note to myself and others is that 24 hours really is nothing compared to the 24/7 life of a chained dog.
Please help Cheryl and I in this important outreach by volunteering whatever time you have. You can contact Cheryl at getmethereplease@gmail.com (see flyer for phone number). The more people we have out there, the more effective it will be. And if media comes out, we can really blaze a freedom trail for the chained dogs in our world.
Thanks for your attention to this important matter!

Comments:Annual event during Fiesta. Main event is the parade with tons of dogs in costumes. They also have dog demonstrations, prizes and silent auctions. Check the website for pictures! Great event with tons of goofy pups!
Also nice to know: This is a charity event for the Delta Society (non-profit, all volunteer). They bring animals "Ambassadors" to adults and kids in the hospitals, shelters and extended stay care facilities. I believe this is their biggest fund raiser of the year. Seems like very cool group, anyone can join and they give classes if you would like your pet to become an ambassador.
