Barrio Dogs' Pet Awareness Event

We want to thank Stephanie’s Ice House in Houston for allowing us to have our very first Barrio Dogs' Pet Awareness Event on January 21, 2012. The event's purpose was to educate and raise awareness of the horrific conditions of animal abandonment, neglect and abuse in the Mason/Magnolia Park area. We had many old and new friends attending and the event was a great success.

Big thanks to the Norma Zenteno Band for performing. Special thanks to Blue Line Bike Shop, Carmen Macias and Mike & Gina Moreno for the donated raffle items. We were blessed by courtesy photographers Megan Batson and Gwen Juarez. Thank you also to Ernie Zenteno for the veggie kabobs and to our wonderful Barrio Dogs volunteers and supporters.

We have new Barrio Dogs education literature in English and Spanish that will soon be available on our website. Please support our education campaign: Spay & Neuter Your Pets, Leash Your Dogs and No More Chains. If you need any literature right now, please contact us at info@barriodog.org.

An important part of our event was to recognize some outstanding community heroes who are working hard to make a difference in the lives of homeless and abandoned dogs throughout the city. We were proud to be able to recognize these people; please continue to get to know and support them as well.
