There is a lot going on in Morris County's pet rescue community. One outstanding fundraising event is planned by Eleventh Hour Rescue -- a Muttini Mixer Happy Hour on Thursday, June 30,  from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Parsippany Hilton, 1 Hilton Court, Parsippany. This new event is ''BYOD- Bring Your Own Dog." It's a a great way to spend some quality time with your dog, while getting to know fellow dog lovers.

Enjoy delicious food and drinks, fun activities and games, a tricky tray, 50/50 raffle, and more, all for a good cause. The Muttini Mixer is beach-themed, so dress in your favorite tropical outfit. Don't forget to dress up your pooch, too.

Tickets are $35 per person for our cocktail party which includes:

One dog per handler only. All dogs must be leashed and well-behaved. No flexi-leads/retractable leashes; all registrants must be 21 and over to attend.

Fun activities for you and your dog, includes:
  • A Biscuit Bar for your pooch, provided by Bubba Rose Biscuit Company
  • Tricky Tray and 50/50 Raffle
  • Games and Contests with Prizes
  • Best Dressed Contest: dress your pooch up in their best beach wear!

And, if you are single and looking for that special someone, an auction for dates with some Eleventh Hour Rescue volunteers also will be held. This will be a silent auction with all money going directly to animal rescue.
