Sat. Aug. 11

Nothing canines love more than a good bath, right dog owners? Well, maybe you can dog-whisper in their ear that if they're good doggies, they can get themselves professionally styled and have their picture taken right next to a foxy New England Cheerleader? And, you dear, owner could be in that same picture. The MSPCA always has some canny ways to raise money at the "Paw Wash" they've got going on from noon-3 p.m Saturday August 11 looks like some fun. Pay $15 for a dog bath; pay $15 for a photo with the cheerleaders; pay $25 for both. Hey, why not go the whole nine yars. The proceeds benefit the MSPCA's Boston Animal Care and Adoption Center. It takes place at MSPCA-Angell Headquarters.
