On Saturday, April 11, Second Chance Pet Adoptions hosted a unique event at ArtSource Fine Art Gallery in North Hills,"Unconditional: the unique bond between humans and our companion pets." Being an avid animal and art lover, we were really looking forward to this relaxing event.
For $10 per person we were treated to some fabulous hors d'oeuvres compliments of Flights at the Renaissance, Chef Bobby Zimmerman, Rocky Top Hospitality, Grace Riddle of Grace Riddle events, a selection of wine and 5 raffle tickets for a chance to win some fabulous prizes. We're still waiting for our phone call to tell us we won! Over 30 pieces of artwork were on display depicting the human-pet bond that only pet lovers can understand.
After we visited the incredible array of hors d'oeuvres we turned the corner and what do I see but an enclosure with two precious black kitties from Second Chance. I sometimes feel like I have an obsession with black cats. Suddenly the food and drink in my hand took a backseat as I plopped down on the floor to visit with these adorable 10-week old babies! I would, of course be remiss not to mention the dogs that were also on hand for this event. Some of the friendliest who I have no doubt will make the best companions.
I am certain that Second Chance had a very successful evening and we are so glad we were able to be a part of it. As far as the proceeds go, 50 percent of the the sales of the art sold will benefit Second Chance. If you enjoy supporting our local animal rescue groups, Triangle Around Town encourages you to check out the numerous fundraisers going on around the area. You'll be glad you did!
