If politics really is going to the dogs, why not use it to the dogs’ advantage?

The Second Annual Red Dog Blue Dog Benefit raised nearly $4,000 by pitting Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Shalimar) and Rep. Evan Jenne (D-Hollywood) against each other in a battle of the bartenders at Madison Social. Drinks were poured and the tips poured in to benefit the Leon County Humane Society, the Animal Shelter Foundation and Last Hope Rescue.

Not only did we get to sponsor the event, we brought Fisher, our very own foster dog from the Leon County Humane Society. Fisher is a three-year old sweet pitt mix with sad eyes, a goofy smile and an uncompromising love of belly rubs. Rescued from Tampa, he’ll need a loving permanent home once he completes his heartworm treatment. Fisher is neutered, microchipped and housebroken. If you are interested in meeting Fisher or would like more information on how to adopt, email Sandi.

Red Dog Blue Dog financially supports community-wide efforts to help more homeless animals find loving homes, reunite lost pets with their owners and promote responsible pet ownership. We’ll be back next year!
