Thanks to everyone who helped make LI-DOG’s Yappy Hours^® @Mary Carroll’s such great events this year. There were so many wonderful dogs and so many nice dog owners to talk to that the evenings just flew by!

We were especially proud and happy to share the evenings with volunteers and great dogs from the following rescue groups:

• Save A Yorkie Rescue, www.saveayorkierescue.org
• Last Hope, www.lasthopeanimalrescue.org
• Little Shelter, www.littleshelter.com
• League for Animal Protection, www.laphuntington.org
• Grateful Greyhounds, www.gratefulgreyhoundsny.com

If you know of someone who needs a dog in their life—and who doesn’t?!—please visit the dogs rescued by these wonderful groups.

LI-DOG’s Yappy Hours^® ran from June through October 2009, on the first Thursday of every month. The only exception was our Howl-o-Ween Yappy Hour^®—with dogs and people in costume!--which we held just before the holiday. In August, The Long Islander newspaper wrote a great article about LI-DOG and our Yappy Hours^®.

Yappy Hour^® would not have been much fun without the donations of food, drink and raffle prizes from our generous sponsors. See all the businesses that helped make our Yappy Hours^® so great

We’ll be back in 2010 for more great evenings @Mary Carroll’s!
