2nd Annual La Jolla Pet Parade - A lot to Bark About!

reported by

La Jolla Pet Parade Judges Kima Schwab-Johston and her mother, Margo Schwab

La Jolla was the place to be May 23rd, 2010. It was the 2nd Annual La Jolla Pet Parade and it had tongues and tails wagging!

There short hair, fluffy sorts and stylish ones.... that would be the two legged and four legged kind!

Among the mix were Mary Drake, she had Sofia and her rescue dog Serafina with her. Also there were Jenifer Broomberg with her fancy Poodles, Jemima Dutra with her French Bulldog Fifi, Fifi and Jemima won the best look alike category for their matching polka dot outfits by Jemima herself, Didi Silverstone, that's actress Alicia Silverstone's mother, and the judges.

The judges were Virginia De Generes, she's the step-mother of comedian and talk show host Ellen De Generes, DJ Coe Lewis of KGB, Nancy Miller of La Jolla Kiwanis, voice artist Lani Minella, and Kima and Margo Schwab.

Kima would like you to know that she was adopted.... and then immediately spayed!

More there enjoying sniffs, paw shakes and face kisses were Lee Clark, her company YourManifest.com benefits animals, Jeremy the hairdresser, Sally Bucko with her pretty pooch, Andrea Muir from the Arthritis Foundation, Dog Zenergy's Doggie and Me Boot Camp representatives, big wave surfer and event Grand Marshall Scott Chandler along with his surfing pooch, some very popular people from MyPerfectPet.net because of their fresh frozen food for dogs, and some very adoptable Pugs, and other cool dogs from rescue groups like Chula Vista and more.... boy they were cute!

And in need.

That's why Co-Chairs for this event, Nancy Warwick of Warwick's bookstore, Janet McCulley of Muttropolis and Candy Schuman, the Volunteer Executive of SNAP put together this dog gone fun event!

An estimated $12,000 was raised for SNAP at the pet parade which will immensely help their goal to educate people about animal abuse, neglect, abandonment as well as the importance of spay and neuter.

Something cheered on by dogs Herbie, Port, Paxon, Sierra, PT, Lucia, Daisy, Frank, Armand, Babette, Truffles, Serafina, Fifi, Roxy, Bello, Louie, Poppy, Baby, Harley, Scooter and more. They all helped educate their 2 legged friends that 4 legged friends need a helping paw.

By the way, SNAP is one of 3 honorees and beneficiaries of the Petco Foundation's Gala this Saturday June 5th. The other 2 honorees are the Police Canine Unit and PAWS.

Candy Schuman of SNAP states there are "wonderful success stories thanks to the combined efforts of shelter staff, SNAP volunteers, caring vets and others in the community who help - like the PETCO Foundation, Muttropolis, My Perfect Pet fresh frozen foods (myperfectpet.net) Ark Antiques, City Dog, Howlistic, Warwicks, Jen Petit and Fuzzle - just to name a few." And she indicated the importance of medical donations too. "Broken legs are expensive ($1500 or so) even with a 50% discount. One broken legs is about 8 adoptions at $175 each - and many of those also incurred some cost for dentals (often needed as we take quite a few small, older dogs), eye exams, blood work, etc."
