Our second annual fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion proved to be another fun night filled with animal loving attendees, celebrities, and lots of good times. It was a beautiful evening and a lively crowd! Most importantly we raised almost as much as last year so we can continue our most important job of rescuing the neediest animals in the LA Shelters and raising awareness of the importance of spay and neutering. Thank you everyone who attended Bow Wow WOW 2008 and helped make it a great success!

Hosts Rachael Harris and Kevin Nealon did an amazing job and kept the crowd laughing. Thank you Kevin and Rachael for always supporting us! |

DJ Stryker kept things lively and got everyone out on the dance floor at the end of the night. |
