PAWS Petchitecture 2008 Goes Green

Petchitecture_ids

Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS) continues its tradition of fundraising through design with its Petchitecture silent auction tonight at The Westin St. Francis in San Francisco.  This year, contributing local artists, designers, and architects were asked to create unique pet habitats using sustainable resources or recycled materials.

All proceeds from this pet-friendly night, that includes photo ops with top pet photographers and dog treats served on silver trays, go towards this amazing charity that has worked for 20 years to keep people with AIDS and other debilitating illnesses together with their companion animals.  What a wonderful idea, pet lovers helping pet lovers.  If you’re in San Francisco, run a comb through your dog’s hair and head over to the Grand Ball Room.  It sounds like it will be filled with creative souls moved by the power of dog love (or turtle, bunny, bird or cat love).  Perfect!

But call first, only a limited number of tickets are available at the door.  (415) 979-9550 Ext. 309 

You can also email info@pawssf.org for details.

Here are some highlights of the habitats to be auctioned courtesy of POOCH, one of the event’s sponsors.
