Let the dogs out (and hopefully take one home) at The Velvet Cactus Sunday
The Velvet Cactus owners are also the proud owners of six rescue pets, according to co-owner Rusty White. So their latest animal adoption event—entitled “Yappy Hour”—should come as no surprise.
Pups from the Humane Society of Louisiana and Cara’s House will be wagging their tails in hopes of being adopted at the Velvet Cactus location on 7655 Old Hammond Highway, 3-6 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 26. Both shelters will be accepting donations of cat litter, cat food and dog food, and 10 percent of the night’s proceeds will go to the shelters.
Bonus: Kids will also be excited for live face painting where they can get their faces painted like their favorite furry friends.
