Luxelab Pasadena Benefit For Pasadena Humane Society

The lovely folks at Luxelab Pasadena hosted a fundraiser for the Pasadena Humane Society. We here at BiteMe! M+F have supported PHS since adopting our dog Coco Chanel from them six years ago. Since then we’ve participated in the annual Wiggle Waggle Walk and this year team BiteMe! Squad raised $3,835 to help our furry friends, so needless to say I was happy to attend this fabulous event.

Invited guests were encouraged to bring their four-legged friends and enjoy delicious food from Green Earth organic/vegan cuisine, wine and beer. Stella Rossa raffled off bottles of wine throughout the evening.

This lucky gal was the first winner.

A rep from Raymond Ave Vet Hospital was on site to tell us about the clinic and hand out goodie bags.

Artist Mia Cabrera sketched portraits of attendees and their pets.

Lifestyle expert and psychic medium for people and pets, Maryam Faresh accepted donations for PHS in exchange for a reading.  I was very impressed with her insight. To schedule an appointment with her send an e-mail to: Maryam@whataboutdaisy.com Maryam also wrote a series of children’s books about her deaf/blind dog Daisy.

Local merchants and designers generously donated items/services for the silent auction.

All proceeds from the auction went directly to the Pasadena Humane Society. The organization is working hard to expand their care center in order to reach a goal of being a zero euthanasia facility. To learn more about PHS and support their efforts visit: www.pasadenahumane.org
