The Milton Animal League, a no-kill shelter, is having its annual benefit & silent auction Saturday Oct. 20th from 6:30-9:30 p.m. at the Wollaston Golf Club, 999 Randolph Ave. in Milton.

Tickets are $75 and will help provide food, supplies and medical care for the homeless animals of Milton.

If you want to attend, call (617) 698-0413. The shelter is located at 181 Governor Stoughton Lane in Milton, MA.

The shelter hosts a lot of beautiful pets. Pictured above is Bella, a five-year-old spayed female pit bull terrier. Bella lives at the Milton shelter: everybody loves her there but she is looking to be somebody’s only pet!

Today, Saturday October 13th, at 10am, the 10th Annual Walk of the Forest Hills Educational Trust will take place at the Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain, MA.
The ticket costs $12 per person or $10 if you are a trust member. The event is sponsored by Polka Dog Bakery, located in the South End. Certificates and treats will be awarded at the end of the walk.

Special guest of the event is Catie Copley (pictured above), the famous dog who welcomes guests at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, located at 138 St. James Avenue in Boston, MA.
Catie will be available to sign a new children’s book about her adventures.

Catie is a very sweet dog. We met her last week at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel. She is irresistible! Guests love her and can even book a walk with her. Some keep visiting the hotel just to stop and say hi to the pooch.

Pictured below is Catie with her “foster parent”, the concierge Jim, who takes care of her with his colleague Joe.
Jim will walk with Catie at the Dog Walk today. Don’t miss this opportunity to walk with them through this wonderful cemetery!

There’s another event coming up at Cause to Paws, a pet boutique in Brookline, MA, which is hosting a Hallowe’en party will take place on Sunday, October 28th at 2PM. Costumes will be judged, with judging taking place at 3pm.

Last September the boutique, which is located at the heart of Coolidge Corner, was where Laurie Herbst, a designer and tailor of dog coats and dresses, and her dog Lucca presented the new Bella Lucca Collection.

Dogs that attended the event could ‘model’ items from the new collection, while Carol Martling, a local photographer, took pictures of the dogs. Here is the beautiful Paulina, a Yorkshire who is also a professional model.

Paulina attended the event with her “sister”, Mia, and her parents, Jim and Linda. As you can see in the picture below, Mia wears gorgeous jewelry: Jim made it especially for her.

And here are Roxie Doxie and Queen Gemini.

Roxie Doxie was very grateful to her mom Amanda who took her to such a fun event.

Pictured below is the elegant Remy. Remy is a nine-year old poodle toy. She attended the event with her mom Ellen. Remy is an alpha dog: she always likes to show who is the leader of the pack! And she has a preference for small, white male dogs…

You can see more pictures taken during the fall Bella Lucca trunk show here.
Cause to Paws is owned by Terri and E.G., and managed with the help of their dogs Decia and Kainji.

Don’t miss the Hallowe’en event! Cause to Paws is located at 1386A Beacon Street in Brookline, MA.

Rocky is a very sweet white daschund, who is blind and deaf. He is a very lucky dog because he is always surrounded by new friends. In fact, his owner, Kim, fosters several daschunds in need of a new family.

Kim is a member of the Daschund Rescue of North America. We met her and Rocky at last Boston Daschunds Meetup, where she also brought along two puppies she is fostering, Buster and Winslow (pictured below).

Buster and Winslow are incredibly beautiful and need a home very soon!! Please contact the Massachusetts division of the DRNA if you are interested in adopting them.

An Halloween Party for Maltese dogs took place last Sunday at Especially for Pets in Sudmury, MA.

Award winning photograher Sherry Poole was present to take pictures.
Sherry and her family own a Maltese and two of her photo portraits of dogs have won first prize in two different canine photo contests.

Richard Stewart, Fells District Manager of the DCR, has proposed an off-leash dog park in the Middlesex Fells. The park is supposed to be ten acres. FellsDOG, a group of dog owners, will report about the park next Saturday, October 13, from 10 am to 1 pm, during the Sheepfold Clean-Up Day at the Middlesex Fells. You and your dog are welcome to join!

There will be also free snacks and drinks, and a raffle for great prizes.
The Committee to Protect Dogs will join to spread the word about the proposed Greyhound Protection Act, and you can sign the petition to get it on the ballot in 2008!

Pictured below are two pugs who join the pug day at the Fells last July 28. And here are some pictures of the area where the park will be hopefully located.

Around 25 Bostonian pugs met yesterday for their monthly meetup.
The meetup was crowded of beautiful dogs, including the little Cassidy (pictured above), a four-month puppy who attended her first meetup ever.

Among the pugs, there was also a beautiful and friendly puggle, Logan (below).

The event took place in one of the big rooms of Doggie Day, a pet boutique and day care located at 400 Tremont St. in Boston. If you have pug and want more information about next events, click here!
