SASSYfund – Fourth Annual Project Poochie

The fourth annual Project Poochie featured 50 shelter alumni dogs strutting the runway on October 14th, in designs from Diane VonFurstenbone, Barktoria’s Secret, Yves St. Bernard, and many more. Proceeds from Project Poochie benefited the SASSYfund, which helps realize the financial burden that unscheduled pet expenses can cause for seniors on a fixed income.
