Get your wine and wag on tomorrow

On Friday, June 26, the Maryland SPCA is celebrating National Take Your Dog To Work Day with a “Wine and Wag” Happy Hour from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the SPCA. 

Participants can relax after work with other pet-friendly people and enjoy light refreshments including hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine. Activities include musical chairs with your dog, a treasure hunt for great doggie prizes, paw painting, off-leash play in the fun runs, bobbing for hot dogs and tours of the SPCA adoption center.

Tickets are $10 per person in advance and $15 at the SPCA gate. Dogs are admitted free, however only one dog per person is permitted and all dogs must be leashed. Tickets can be purchased online. All proceeds benefit the Maryland SPCA.

This is the first of three summer “Wine and Wag” Happy Hours at the Maryland SPCA.  Future events will be held on July 24 and August 14.  For more information regarding the “Wine and Wag” events, please contact Tami Gosheff at 410-235-8826, ext. 138, tgosheff@mdspca.org or visit Maryland SPCA.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
