Reality Stars Come Out For The Reality Cares Dogs Next Door Event

Filed under: green and famous — parrish @ 11:07 am

 Top three best reality shows ever: Top Chef, So You Think You Can Dance, Intervention. Let’s face it — whether you like it or not, reality television has raped the entertainment world and in it’s wake has left us all perhaps a little dumber and a lot more voyeuristic. Still, with all the negatives that can be said about the genre, you can also find a few positives floating in the debris. Enter Reality Cares. 

Reality Cares works with reality television executives, producers, writers, cast members, publicists and viewers on a purely volunteer basis to support philanthropic endeavors.  On Saturday, June 14, Reality Cares will team up with Dogs In Danger to host the Reality Cares Dogs Next Door event. The afternoon will be hosted by organization spokesperson and Amazing Race contestant, Shana Wall. 

Wall said: “Every four seconds a dog is needlessly euthanized in our country alone, simply due to lack of space in our shelters. When I learned about the mission of Dogs In Danger, I jumped at the opportunity to be their national spokesperson. My hope is that our fundraiser brings awareness to this issue so that we can continue to save these dogs from their otherwise tragic fates.”

Celebrities like Ryan Seacrest, Lisa Rinna & Harry Hamlin, Kelly Rutherford, Linda Blair and Lisa Foxx are scheduled to attend, and actor/reality star Jai Rodriguez will emcee a doggy fashion show starring a few precious puppies saved from euthanasia. 

Sound like fun? Well good news for you — there are still a few tickets available to the public. Visit DogsInDanger.com and get your tickets now!
