Seven fundraiser to help twin city pet shelters overwhelmed by economic downturn

Pet shelters around the country are experiencing population explosions because people simply can no longer afford to take care of their animals.
To help raise awareness and ease the burden on shelters, Seven, Minneapolis’s premier dining and event destination, is hosting a fundraiser on Sunday, June 6th starting at 4pm with Pet Steps to Heaven. The event’s title sponsor, the PETFINDER.com Foundation, hopes this inaugural "Steak Out a Home for Pets" event encourages Twin Cities’ families to log on, find a perfect match, and give a sheltered pet a new home.
“This is a valuable resource and data center available to families that want to welcome a pet into their homes,” said John Laub, event promoter and Pet Steps to Heaven owner. “The economic downturn is affecting every aspect of our society, including our furry friends.”
In addition to great food and beverages, guests will mingle with local celebrities and their pets on Seven’s Skybar. Funding for Steak Out a Home for Pets also features silent and live auctions.
Tickets are $75 each. Table sponsorships are also available. To order tickets or for more information, go to www.7mpls.com/petfinder.php or call 612-868-8929.
