The Old Stone House, Willie’s Dawg’s and Seaworthy Films present an evening of award-winning short films to benefit the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation on Thursday, December 4, 2008 at 7:30 pm.
The mission of the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) is to produce the most highly trained canine disaster search teams in the nation. The job of these teams is to find people buried alive in the wreckage of natural disasters and terrorist attacks. To create these teams, SDF recruits rescued dogs from shelters and breed rescue groups, gives them professional training, and partners them with firefighters and other first responders at no cost to their departments. SDF ensures lifetime care for every dog in its program: once rescued, SDF dogs will never need to be rescued again.
The Old Stone House is in JJ Byrne Park, between 3rd and 4th Streets, just off Fifth Avenue, in Park Slope, Brooklyn. For more information, please call 718-768-3195, or visit the Old Stone House website at www.theoldstonehouse.org.
Willie’s Dawgs, a restaurant serving high-quality franks and sides, is named in homage to owners Ellen Lutter and Tom Anderson’s beloved late black lab Willie. It is located at 351 Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. Willie’s is committed to making the world a better place for humans and dogs. For more information call 718-832-2941.
