Talk about a barking good time!

NYC Second Chance Rescue hosted a delightful day for the dogs (and cats) on Oct. 20 that was full of splendor all in the name of great cause.

Drag, Wags & Whiskers charity brunch at Common Ground New York City gathered hundreds of guests who came out help honor the animal advocacy of media star Don Lemon. Hosted by Amanda Tori Meating, the special event also featured performances by Chicky Gorgina and Skye Walker.

Special guest Bob Harper joined notable attendees McEntee, Thomas Doherty, Thomas Canestraro, Dylan Lauren, Jennifer Parker, Dr. Dan Belkin, Joe Roy, Orfeh, Rachel Donohue, Rob Cadiz, and Victor Granados.

Founded by Jennifer Brooks and Lisa Blanco, NYC Second Chance Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in 2009. With the generous contributions of their dedicated community of donors and supporters, they have successfully saved over 15,000 lives from an unimaginable fate.

The primary focus of NYC Second Chance Rescue is on large breed dogs and animals in need of critical, life-saving care, as these two categories represent the majority of euthanasia in the United States. Nine out of ten animals that enter NYC Second Chance Rescue were initially slated for euthanasia at municipal shelters. Through their foster care system and brick-and-mortar shelter, they provide comprehensive medical care and a nurturing, secure sanctuary for all pets.

Sponsors for the event included: Mister, Joe Roy, Electric Body Fitness, Movtady Law Office, My Protect Kit, Bongiorni Brand Management, Bella Magazine, and Common Ground.
