Pup-arazzi at Howl-O-Ween

I hope you were able to attend yesterday's Howl-O-Ween, the fundraiser for the Roanoke Valley SPCA, at Elmwood Park.  My hubby and I, unfortunately, have been under the weather for many days thought it was best to stay home.

From the looks of the Pup-arrazi pictures, we missed quiet a party.

Here's a picture four happy attendees: Alex Fulghun and Mason, who appears to be a pug, and Kellin White and Chynna, who looks like a pit bull or a pit bull mix. The kids are cute in their painted faces and Mason in his costume. And doesn't Chynna looks very pretty in her dress with her pink painted toenails?

To see more pictures, click here for the Roanoke Times/Inside Out Paparazzi Flickr account, and look in this Thursday's Inside Out section of the newspaper.

And if you attended, post a comment and let me know what I missed.

Ah, as my husband, a  lifetime Cubs fan, always says: Wait 'til next year.

  1. Hi Nona! I love your blog! Would there be any way to get a high resolution photo of one of the Paparazzi photos from the SPCA Howl-O-Ween walk? My future mother-in-law really wants one of the photos framed for her birthday at the end of the week (it's a picture of her son with her dog). I'd like to tweak the photo a little bit - just some touching up and such (I'm a graphic designer) and frame it for her, but it would turn out much better if I had a high resolution copy. Thanks for any help you can give me! You can just email me back if you wish.

Foster homes for the holidays

The Roanoke Valley SPCA is participating in the national “Foster A Lonely Pet For the Holidays” pet fostering program.

Over 13,000 pet rescue organizations nationwide are trying to empty the kennels for Christmas, encouraging families to open their home for the holidays to an adoptable pet waiting for a forever home.

Fostered pets can be picked up between December 18-23, and can be returned to the RVSPCA between December 30-January 2.

The RVSPCA will provide all needed supplies and support to the temporary families. You can view all of the pets online at www.rvspca.org, or visit the shelter to meet them.  The goal is to have each of these pets into a home by noon on December 23.

Ann Marie Sweeney, foster coordinator for the RVSPCA, will answer questions about the program for people interested in making this Christmas a happy holiday for a pet in need.  Contact Sweeney at 344-4840, ext. 208 or e-mail asweeney@rvspca.org.
