                                Hi Friend,

                                Happy Adopt-A-Dog Month®! This month, Temple 
Grandin - a pioneer in animal welfare and an inspiration to others with 
autism - received our National Humanitarian Medal and 30 U.S. governors 
proclaimed Oct. 1 "American Humane Association Hero Dog Day." Read on for 
more exciting October happenings.




                                YOUR American Hero Dog: Roselle the 9/11 
Guide Dog

                                Roselle led her blind master, Michael 
Hingson, safely down 78 flights of stairs following the 9/11 attacks on the 
World Trade Center. On Oct. 1, we gathered at a red-carpet gala in Los 
Angeles - with Animal Planet's Victoria Stilwell of "It's Me or the Dog," 
Betty White, RIN TIN TIN and other celebs and animal-lovers - to name the 
yellow Lab top American Hero Dog at the first-ever American Humane 
Association Hero Dog AwardsT, presented by cesar® canine cuisine. Each of 
the eight dog finalists received $5,000 to be donated to one of our charity 
partners, and Roselle won an additional $10,000 for Guide Dogs for the 
Blind. A TV special of the star-studded event, produced by Emmy 
Award-winning MRB Productions, will air on Hallmark Channel on Nov. 11 at 8 
p.m. EST. For a $100 gift, you can get your pet listed in the end-credits of 
the TV special.

                                See your own Hero Dog's name in lights.

                                Thanks to one of our amazing National 
Ambassadors, Tinsley Mortimer, helping animals has never been more 
fashionable! Now until Oct. 20, 25 percent of sales from the Samantha 
Thavasa boutique will go to our Second Chance® Fund in celebration of 
Adopt-A-Dog Month®. All purchases made in person at the New York City store, 
or via phone or email, will help care for abused and neglected animals - so 
they can recover and be adopted into loving, forever homes.

                                Go shopping for a great cause.

                                Donate to our Second Chance Fund.







                                "A Round of A-Paws" Animal-Assisted Therapy 
Celebration

                                Imagine: Dinner at a fancy hotel with 56 
dogs, 2 cats and a guinea pig! That's what it's like at our "A Round of 
A-Paws" Animal-Assisted Therapy Celebration, presented by cesar® canine 
cuisine. Last year, more than 350 people came out to recognize the work 
accomplished by our hundreds of animal-assisted therapy teams. Guests heard 
firsthand accounts of the extraordinary effects of the human-animal bond. 
They laughed and cried at the tales (and tails) the handlers shared about 
their moving animal-assisted therapy experiences. On Nov. 11, we'll gather 
again to celebrate the impact of our animal-assisted Therapy teams and the 
power of animals to improve the lives of people.

                                Attend the event.

                                Become a sponsor.

                                Support Animal-Assisted Therapy.
