The evening is themed around a young dog named Rocky who is a shining example of the lifesaving work the Ontario SPCA performs every day. Severely abused, neglected and close to death, Rocky was rescued by Ontario SPCA investigators and captured the hearts of hundreds in the GTA. Thanks to love, nurturing and medical care, Rocky is now on the road to recovery and has been given a chance for a new life and a home. And in an inspiring announcement live at the event — Guests will meet Rocky’s new family for the first time!
Hosted by hilarious husband and wife team, comedianColin Mochrie and talented actress/comedian Debra McGrath, the evening will include performances by Canadian funk sensation Planet Earth and award-winning saxophonist Matthew James — all in the name of helping animals and directly supporting the lifesaving work of the Ontario SPCA.
“I’m so excited to be participating in this fun yet important event!” says Steven Page. “As a dog lover and owner (if that’s the right word!), I am grateful for the work of the Ontario SPCA. Live & Unleashed is going to be a great evening of music and entertainment and guests will truly make a difference supporting all of the animals in need across Ontario.”
Deb and Barbara: On a related note: we really want to draw your attention to the Save Stich sitch. Our friend and fellow blogger, Hollye Dexter, has an unbelievable story about how her adopted dog has become tangled in a legal nightmare. Read her story/history here and sign the petition! If you can, buy the really good stuff on the fundraiser to support Stitch's plight.
