HSL to Host Benefit for
BRUTUS and Other Pets in Need

WHAT: Benefit for Brutus and Other Pets
WHERE: Bridge Lounge, 1201 Magazine St., New Orleans, LA
WHEN: Thursday, September 29, 7:30 – 11 pm
Tickets are $10.00 at the door.

Help save a life! Come to our benefit for Brutus, a pit bull mix rescued in New Orleans who needs our help! We'll have raffles, door prizes and vegan food. Mix and mingle with local animal lovers and their pooches at this great, dog-friendly bar.

UNO students Katrina Williams and Shaina Washington spotted Brutus earlier this month. The poor pup was wandering around campus in the rain, alone and hungry. The students were able to rescue the homeless pooch and want to make him a part of the family. They just need help with the costs of his heartworm treatment and initial medical bills.

The Humane Society of Louisiana helps in whatever way we can, when caring people go the extra mile for an animal in need. We are always seeking foster homes to help expand our efforts. Representatives will be on hand to discuss foster care opportunities, Guests will be also be able to meet, Cowboy, a cat recently rescued from a tough life on the streets, who is now searching for a foster family.

Katrina and Brutus are available for any media interviews the week before or during the benefit party. Katrina may be reached by calling 512-905-3089.
