The Good Dog House has Grand Opening tomorrow!

The Grand Opening of The Dog House is upon us, and the festivities begin tomorrow at 11 AM. Bring your dog to audition for a space in the next edition of the book Rover while checking out our fun new space!

Besides the casting call, we have a lot of other excitement happening. Petra, a Greek tavern and neighbor in Tivoli, will be providing passed appetizers during lunch hours and Tivoli will be providing bottled water.

The whole event is a fundraiser for The Animal Foundation, so we'll be hosting a raffle to benefit the organization with fantastic prizes. Tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20, and prizes include:

OoBoo designs portable dog house
$375 class membership at KidVille
$100 in gift certificates from Charming Charlie
$50 dining certificate for Petra
Portrait Session from Simply Dog Photography
Dog Breed print of your choice from Animal Blueprint Company
Dog Chart #1 print from local artist Joseph Watson
Autographed copy of Rover
$50 gift certificate to Stash Clothing
Land Rover dog items
Sterling silver jewelry and training package from CCCouture
Herbally Grounded pet gift basket
...and more!

We will also be hosting a mega raffle for a handmade wooden dog house painted by local artist Peg Lozier. These tickets are $20 each or 6 for $100. You need not be present to win any of these items, and tickets can be purchased over the phone with a credit card if you cannot attend the event.

Local artist Kenton McDonald will be doing fifteen minute pet portraits of the dogs in attendance for a suggested minimum donation of $45, so even if your dog doesn't make it into the book you can still have a wonderful keepsake to take home.

We will also be giving away goodie bags to the first hundred customers, starting at 11 AM. They are filled with healthy and fun goodies and supplements for your dog so you won't want to miss grabbing one! Animal nutritionist Leith Henry of Kona's Kitchen will be on staff to answer and questions you may have about your dog's health. Her consultations are normally $100 so be sure to take advantage of her services at no charge while she's here.
To top everything off, we'll be donating 5% of our sales tomorrow to The Animal Foundation. The shelter will be in attendance, of course, with many dogs up for adoption. The dogs will be here until about 2 o'clock, so if  you or anyone you know can give one of these dogs a loving home, please come early!

We're very excited for tomorrow's events and hope you are, too! Festivities end at 4, but The Dog House will be open until 9 tomorrow night. For questions call (702) 496-4006.
