This year’s event will include a live and silent auction, open bar and dinner and a very special guest speaker, Tamar Geller at this elegant, charitable event. Tamar Geller is a former Israeli army intelligence officer and owner of The Loved Dog, a Los Angeles-based company that trains and cares for canines; counseling the pedigreed pets of Hollywood. Geller will be an excellent addition to the Puppy Love line up and will definitely share stories you will not want to miss. Her passion is evident in her everyday work and in her own words states, “Dogs are a tremendous gift to the world! They are amazingly sensitive, intuitive creatures with the remarkable power to transform the lives of the humans they touch. They have the uncanny ability to understand humans, working side-by-side with us and sharing our lives. In my world, we celebrate dogs! People are emotionally invested in their dogs, and don’t regard them as disposable accessories or toys for their children. We raise our voices for the millions of the voiceless dogs around the world, improving their quality of life and putting an end to their senseless mistreatment and death. As a life coach for dogs and their people, I have dedicated myself to providing insight to millions of dog lovers with my unique method, The Loved Dog, for building a relationship based on games, clear communication, respect and love. I am devoted to capturing the individuality of each and every dog and celebrating the magic in them.”

This event is not to be missed and is a wonderful opportunity not only for a superb night out but for our community to contribute to an organization that strives for the humane treatment of animals in the Rio Grande Valley.

Not familiar with a microchip? A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and consists of a tiny computer chip housed in a type of glass made to be compatible with living tissue. The microchip is implanted between your pet’s shoulder blades under the skin; the process is similar to getting a shot. Little to no pain is experienced – most animals do not seem to even feel it being implanted. Once in place, the microchip can be detected immediately with a handheld device that uses radio waves to read the chip. This device scans the microchip, and then displays a unique alphanumeric code. Once the microchip is placed, the animal will be registered with 24-Hour PetWatch and your pet can be traced back to you if found.
Palm Valley Animal Center receives over 40,000 animals a year, and sadly, approximately 37,000 of those animals are humanely euthanized. Please join us as we strive to increase the amount of animals that can successfully be reunited with their owners in the event they are lost or brought into a shelter. Remember that collars and tags can be easily removed, but a microchip cannot.
This event is open to the public so please join us on November 19, 2011 from 10am – 5pm.
