Streetdog’s Mission<br />
“Streetdog Foundation rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes stray and abandoned dogs in Memphis.<br />
We are committed to placing wonderful companion animals into loving, forever homes. We<br />
believe in responsible pet ownership, spaying and neutering and educating the public about how<br />
wonderful dogs are — especially misunderstood breeds. We have special experience with bully<br />
breeds. We are willing and able to help people find homes for dogs through online marketing,<br />
adoption days and special events. We are not a shelter and do not have a facility to keep stray<br />
dogs. We rely solely on volunteers, fosters and donations to keep our organization running.”<br />
Streetdog Foundation will<br />
host the 5th Annual Howl<br />
at the Moon fundraiser on<br />
Saturday, <strong>Nov</strong>. 11 from 6 to<br />
11 p.m. at The Warehouse,<br />
36 E GE Patterson Ave. in<br />
Downtown Memphis.<br />
Howl at the Moon assists<br />
volunteer-based Streetdog<br />
Foundation in its efforts to<br />
rescue, rehabilitate and rehome<br />
stray and abandoned<br />
dogs in Memphis. All funds<br />
raised from the event go<br />
straight to the dogs.<br />
Entertainment will be<br />
provided by Shufflegrit, <strong>South</strong><br />
Side Supper Club, Grape,<br />
Bobbie & Tasha and more. The<br />
event will also feature silent<br />
and live auctions, food from<br />
YOU CAN HELP<br />
area restaurants and specialty<br />
beverages. As an added bonus,<br />
one of SDF’s “celebrity” pups<br />
will make an appearance.<br />
A Paw Pass ticket can be<br />
purchased for $40 by visiting<br />
streetdogfoundation.com,<br />
or for $50 at the door. The<br />
pass gains you entry to the<br />
event and access to food,<br />
live entertainment, all auction<br />
items and a photo booth.<br />
Alcohol is not included in the<br />
price.<br />
New to Howl at the Moon<br />
in <strong>2017</strong> is the Purple Paw<br />
Pass, which can be purchased<br />
for $80. The Purple Paw<br />
Pass carries all the perks of<br />
the regular Paw Pass, plus<br />
unlimited bar access and<br />
reserved seating options. Howl<br />
at the Moon is a 21-and-up<br />
event.<br />
