Furry Fashionistas in Haute Couture Compete to Benefit Rescues Training as Service Dogs
Whether you want to compete, or simply watch, if you love dogs, the Magnolia Masquerade Ball is for you.
- (1888PressRelease) August 16, 2017 - Charlotte, N.C. – For the first time, one of the top couture pet fashion promoters is taking the show on the road to support animal welfare groups. “It’s more than just a fashion show,” says Laura Souza, founder and owner of G Girl Productions.
“Our shows develop camaraderie within the community by gathering fur parents and pet fashion designers in one place. We also partner with local pet charities and donate the proceeds from tickets sales.”
G Girl Productions will be traveling from South Florida to Charlotte for a three-day event to benefit Canines for Services. The Wilmington-based non-profit acquires dogs from various rescue organizations and trains them as service dogs.
“These dogs get a new lease on life while becoming a life line for someone in need,” says Souza. “Once a dog completes training, it’s placed with a veteran, a child with a learning disability or someone who needs medical assistance.”
The Charlotte event kicks off with a Rocky River Vineyards Wine Tasting and Luncheon on Friday, September 15, 2017. Tickets include wine tasting, lunch for pet and parent plus transportation.
The Magnolia Masquerade Ball on Saturday night features G Girl doggy contestants in elaborate themed outfits strutting their stuff on the runway along with their fur parents in matching outfits. There will be a three course dinner served, including doggy champagne and a 3-tier doggie cake. Organic chicken and steamed vegetables will be served to the dogs.
The weekend wraps up with Sunday Brunch and a riverboat themed contest.
