The Pet Food Warehouse BOWser Abode
Competition and Tour – a collection of artistically designed
doghouses created by local architects, builders, artists and
designers – will be at Sunken Gardens lobby through
Wednesday, July 30, before moving on to the Largo Library.
Visitors will have the opportunity to view
unique concepts in doghouses, including the "Puppies of the
Caribbean,” the "Gypsy Wagon” or the "Scrap-E
House” made entirely of scrap materials with solar
lighting.
The public also will be able to vote for
the People’s Choice Award at the onsite ballot box. The
People’s Choice Award, along with the Best of Show, 2nd and
3rd place awards will be given on Friday, Aug. 1 at the Largo
Library – where the doghouses will be up for auction.
The BOWser Abode event is produced by and
benefits the Pinellas Animal Foundation’s humane education
Safe House Service Program that works with children at risk of
anti-social behavior due to trauma in their lives. The foundation
is a non-profit veterinary and community partnership established in
1983; dedicated to improved animal care, owner responsibility and
increased awareness of the value of the human/animal bond.
Sunken Gardens is located at 1825 Fourth
St. N., St. Petersburg. For more information or to bid on one of
the doghouses, call 727-710-7387.
