Best Spectacle for Charity

Humane Society of Southern Arizona Puttin' on the Dog

This annual event, which was held on April 30 this year, offers dog-lovers a chance to dress up and deck out their pooches to celebrate everything canine—and raise money to help save the less fortunate critters at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Check out dapper doggie fashions, and let your four-legged friend(s) nosh on gourmet treats while you sip cocktails and hob-knob with the hippest folks in town. After all, our furry companions provide us with unconditional love, lots of entertainment and (depending upon how well-trained they are) lower blood pressure—so don't they deserve a night on the town at least once a year?
