5.21.2007: Project RUFFway
  What an incredible night of glamorous people and pups all dressed to the nines for our furry friends! No bones about it, this Fashion Show was the must-attend show of the season. We want to thank everyone who joined us for a wonderful night of food, drinks, the best dressed dogs and bachelors in New York who helped us raise over $20,000 this night!

The event included a silent auction, complimentary 'Hair of The Dog' cocktails, champagne, and a luxury-packed gift bag ensuring a night of fun, "Puparazzi" and philanthropy, with music by DJ Miss Siagon. Very special guests for the evening were our incredible host Tim Gunn, actress and model Beth Ostrosky, bachelor Lorenzo Borgese, Bobby Kennedy III, Luigi Tadini, Patrick McMullan, Ch. 2's John Bolaris, Karen Biehl & Eli and more glitterati then you can shake a champagne cocktail at!
A special thanks goes to Project RUFFway coordinator Melissa Foss and her co-chairs Di Petroff and Kristina Marchitto, along with honorary chairmen Lorenzo Borgese, Patrick McMullan, Beth Ostrosky, Russell Simmons, Aida Turturro, as well as our always hard working and dedicated volunteers Sheila Malvagna, Sofya Polyakov, Carol Hirsch, Maria Min, among other terrific Stray from the Heart volunteers we couldn't live without!.
And most importantly - Best in Show winner Rusty and his walker, Adam Moiles.
Make sure you visit Fetch Fashion and pick up some of the custom made doggy couture that gave Rusty the edge, for your pup. Contact Michelle at Fetch Fashion for all the hidden gems not on the website!
