Poses With Wet Noses™ Fashion Show
Raises much needed funding for the Humane Society for Hamilton County

NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Nov. 6, 2006 – The Poses With Wet Noses, La Haute Couture Fashion Show was held on Thursday, Oct. 26th at the Robert Irsay Pavilion.

During a French cuisine dinner, guests were dazzled by European fashions from The French Pharmacie in Broadripple. They also enjoyed uniquely clad canine models wearing apparel from Harrods of London. Two of the canine models from HSHC both found homes as a result of the event, one with heartworm received a donation to pay for her treatment.

The Humane Society for Hamilton County would like to thank Nancy Irsay for her developing, planning and underwriting this wonderful event. “Nancy is very passionate about helping the homeless animals of Hamilton County,” said Rebecca Stevens, executive director for the HSHC. “Her dedication is inspiring.”

The fashion show raised $8,593 for the shelter. Special thanks to Stacey Kosene for making the fashion show concept a reality; the Carmel Fire Department who escorted models during the show and collected additional donations during the event, and DL Lowry HairSpa & Boutique for providing makeup and hair for the models.

“This was the first year for what will become an annual fundraiser for our organization, so based on the event’s success, we expect it to be even bigger next year,” added Stevens.

     The mission of the Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) is to provide a compassionate and healthy environment for the homeless animals in our care until they can be placed into permanent, loving homes. The HSHC strives to promote responsible pet ownership and reduce the suffering caused by pet overpopulation and animal cruelty by offering low cost spay/neuter solutions and education.
