Bow Wow West

Event co-chairs Dr. Vasant Garg, Shirin Alavi, Saied Alavi, and Dr. Kim Tran welcomed animal lovers Rev. Dr. Tamla Wilson, Dr. Kathy Flanagan, Joy Sewing and others to the 11th annual Interfaith Ministries Wags & Whiskers brunch and pet fashion show. The sold-out event benefited the Animeals program, which provides pet food, toys, and preventive vet care supplies to the pets of homebound seniors in Interfaith Ministries’ Meals on Wheels program. Dressed in western wear, supporters gathered at the Hotel ZaZa-Museum District and raised more than $113,000. The Bow Wow West-themed event featured a celebrity pet fashion show, lunch, and silent auction. Walking the catwalk for Interfaith Ministries were Roger Applewhite and Keyser Soze, Ivonne Camarena and Don Cheto the cat, Beth Clark and Yeti, Freddy Cruz and Sparrow, Louise Goldberg and Rosie, Karen Jankowski and Bella Donahue, Kian Tavackoli and Moose, and Beth Wolff and Dandy.
