As a part of our community, we provide a space for local artists to hang their work on a quarterly rotation. Our friends, medical family and community joined us recently for an evening of arts and eats with our newest showcase by Julie Austin Photography and a raffle benefit for Old Dog Haven. Jet City Animal Clinic’s Fall Art Showcase and Open House coincided with Capitol Hill’s monthly art walk held the second Thursday of each month.
“The Capitol Hill Art Walk is engaging and entertaining for enthusiastic attendees, businesses, and artists in our vibrant, quirky, artsy neighborhood. The Capitol Hill Art Walk is produced by the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce to highlight the collection of artistic expression in our eclectic neighborhood, to create an entertaining monthly event for residents, and to support the local businesses.”
Several of our industry pals joined us for the evening’s festivities, including The Feed Bag Pet Provisions, Beyond Barking – Animal Communication and The Dog Show with Julie Forbes! The raffle benefiting Old Dog Haven included a Pet Photo Session with prints by Julie Austin, a Wellness Package for your furry family member at Jet City Animal Clinic, a gift basket courtesy of The Feed Bag, and a gift certificate from Beyond Barking.
Celebrating it’s 10-year anniversary, Old Dog Haven cares for over 200 dogs at a time in their foster homes. They focus on the oldest dogs left at shelters but occasionally can take a dog directly from the owner. Dogs in good health with reasonable life expectancy are adopted out; the rest are loved and cared for in a Final Refuge home for as long as they have good quality of life. We also try to assist owners to find new homes for their senior dogs through their website and referrals, and cross-post senior dogs for shelters and other rescues.
