Soho’s Animal Haven housed the cutest paw-ty you’ve ever seen for the most anticipated children’s book, Charlie at the POM Springs Hotel; at least that’s what Amazon says.

The #1 book on Amazon’s New Releases, written by Lara Eurdolian King and illustrated by Chamberlin Newsome, tells the story of the real-life Pomeranian, Charlie, whom King adopted on a trip to Palm Springs with her husband. Charlie went from living in the lobby to starring in his own story (and wine bottles from ONEHOPE.) *ONEHOPE offers a platform to donate 10% of the proceeds to benefit nonprofits chosen by customers.*

Last time, we checked out the Poms and PJs party on Fifth Avenue, and this adorable “Launch Pawty” was just as fabulous as the last. Dog owners toured around the different vendors presented by the FIT Foundation, like BondVet. Charlie spent most of his time hanging out on the shelves of Royce and Rocket. We also spotted the coziest dog beds from LeSure Pets, and all of your dog grooming needs by PetLife Unlimited.

When not looking at all the sweet doggie gifts, guests occupied themselves for the two-hour event with TapSnap 1165’s photobooth, Reiki with Kesaine, food by Williamsburg Pizza, Baked by Melissa,  Soiree, and Blobs.

Wait. Did we even mention that star-studded lineup of hosts? We met up with Chris Redd (Saturday Night Live), Patricia Field (Oscar-nominated Emmy Award-winning costume designer), Orfeh (Tony and Grammy-Award nominee), Andy Karl (Olivier Award-winning, Tony Award Nominee Broadway legend/TV Star), Natalie Negrotti (Big Brother/The Challenge Finalist), KhrystyAna (America’s Next Top Model), and Alicia Quarles (GMA3).

On the way out, guests were treated to the most adorable custom Charlie gift bags by Print All Over Me. Inside were go-to goodies from Thrive Cosmetics, RPZL blowouts, and Powderful.

As fun, as it is to mingle at a party as fun as this, it is all the sweeter when a great cause is involved, as the night raised awareness and funds for animal adoption. Additionally, 100% of the proceeds from book purchases throughout the night went to Animal Haven. It doesn’t stop there; at least $1 from the book’s proceeds will go toward animal welfare groups.

When discussing Charlie at the POM Springs Hotel ahead of its November 7 release, author King stated, “We’re thrilled and humbled to see the warm reception of Charlie’s story. This book is all about embracing different families and the love that unites them. It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re honored to share it with the world.”

As we approach the holiday season, Charlie at the POM Springs Hotel is the perfect gift for the little dog lovers. You can get your copy at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and Pretty Connected.

It was a scene from a Y2K series featuring Paris Hilton.

Ahead of National Dog Day on August 26, the fluffiest Pomeranians from I POM NY took over the Midtown Manhattan Park Terrace Hotel in their finest PJs for the aptly titled Pomeranian PJ party. While there doesn’t always have to be a special occasion to get the pups together, this time around honored a special cause. Guests celebrated the pre-launch of the new children’s book Charlie at the Pom Springs Hotel.

Written by Lara Eurdolian King, the book tells the heartwarming tale of Charlie the Pomeranian and his journey at the Pom Spring Hotel. Based on the true story of Charlie, he dreams of one day finding his forever family, but until then, Charlie takes us on his daily tasks of spending time with guests at the hotel.

The best part? Charlie, the guest of honor, was in attendance, sitting as chill as he could be while soaking up every ounce of attention.

Along with the book, the Pom Party also collaborated with Pupstarz Rescue, an organization committed to rescuing cats and dogs in public shelters who are at high risk of euthanasia.

All the poms were happy to receive an assortment of dog treats from Axel and Tia. They ran freely through the rooftop when not being photographed by every human in attendance. (Seriously, it was hard not to take a video every 5 seconds.)

Of course, the owners got in on the fun with light bites courtesy of the hotel and a “Yappy Hour” with refreshing cosmos and espresso martinis from Thomas Ashbourne, as well as wine by OneHope Wine that gives 10% back to your cause of choice.

Overall, the night garnered fun conversations and a whole lot of advocacy for the future of sheltered animals. If you want to donate or adopt a furry friend, check out Pupstarz Rescue for more information.
