Each of the looks seen on the runway

www.ebay.com/pawsforstyle. 100% percent
of the proceeds from the event and the
auction will benefit the HSNY to provide
funds for their hospital, adoption, spay
and neuter programs. Since 1904, the
HSNY has been a presence in New York
City, reaching out to animals in need
when illness, injury or homelessness
strikes. Today, their programs help
30,000 cats and dogs annually and their
numbers continue to grow. The cost of
caring is high, and the HSNY’s hard work
is made possible entirely by their own
fundraising efforts and the charitable
gifts of people who value and choose to
support their mission.
Animal Fair is the first lifestyle
magazine and website for animal lovers
in support of fairness to animals. Each
issue of Animal Fair is dedicated to
highlighting non-profit animal
organizations, giving them the
opportunity to tell their inspirational
stories and provide contact information
so their readers can become involved.
