Humane Society Hosts Benefit on Sunday

The stars will be out along Main Street in Lakewood Ranch on Sunday for the Inaugural presentation of The Golden Bowls Awards.

So they may be more celebrity look alikes than actual celebrities, but area dogs will be dressed like they are going to the Academy Awards. You can't miss the resemblance to celebrities like Clint Eastwood, Marlon Brando, James Dean and Angelina Jolie.

Of course, celebrity judges will determine just how good these pooches look as they walk down the red carpet. Who will get best dressed? Best hair? Most glamorous pooch? Celebrity judges Max Winitz, Hayley Wielgus, Carol Whitmore and Connie Gellnor will decide.

In addition to the costume contest, there will be a parade of adoptable dog, including Patch's very own , momma to the Patch Pups.

The Humane Society of Lakewood Ranch is working with the owners of Stanley Steemer to put on this adoption event. The event is designed to bring a large number of rescue groups to Lakewood Ranch to showcase a bevy of adoptable dogs.

The Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch is a no-kill, not for profit rescue and shelter organization whose goal is to find homes for at risk animals with emphasis on those targeted for euthanasia due to overpopulation.
