Canine Social Club Celebrates Man's Best Friend, Benefits Local Animal Rescue Longmont, CO (September 13, 2011) - Zoom Room Longmont is hosting a celebration of four-legged companions throughout the city on September 17. The local dog training business and canine social club that specializes in dog agility is sponsoring an event intended to remind Longmont pet owners what it means to be a dog parent.
In honor of the American Kennel Club's Responsible Dog Ownership Day in September, Zoom Room locations across the country are holding events to educate first-time dog owners about the responsibilities of dog ownership and to help current owners enhance their relationships with
their pets. Zoom Room Longmont
http://longmont.zoomroomonline.com/ will offer a variety of free activities fun for the whole family, and will be accepting monetary donations and supplies to benefit Every Creature Counts
http://everycreaturecounts.org/ , a 501(c)3 volunteer rescue organization that found homes for more than 2,600 animals in 2010.
"At the Zoom Room, we feel that every day is responsible dog ownership day," said Marnie Johnson, owner of Zoom Room Longmont. "Classes here are for those who really enjoy spending quality time with their pets. All the products we offer are specifically tailored to improving the health, safety, comfort and training of your dog, and because of this we naturally attract dog owners who desire the same thing: the best possible quality of life for their companion."
Zoom Room will kick off the afternoon with a tricks contest. Participants can sign in at 11:30 am and compete to win prizes such as a Doggy Disco Party, a free group class and a $50 gift card to Zoom Room.
The business will also host two complementary "introduction to agility" classes at 1:00 pm and 2:30 pm. Class sizes are limited, so pre-event registration

Laissez les bons temps rouler! (“Let the good times roll”)
Big Dogs Huge Paws was founded on the core philosophy is that every “BIG” dog deserves a chance. Their goal is to make sure that every dog receives only the best of care, food, and training. They also ensure that the dogs are properly evaluated (medically and behaviorally) and placed according to their special needs. The dogs BDHPI have chosen to focus rescue efforts on include, Great Danes, Great Pyrenees, Newfoundlands, Saint Bernards, Mastiffs (All Types), Irish Wolfhounds, and Scottish Deerhounds. There is a huge need due to the fact that most of these breeds do not have any legitimate rescue options and there are always more dogs in need than any one organization can help.
