‘An Act of Dog’ Open House And Cocktail Party
An open house and cocktail party in support of “An Act of Dog” took place Feb. 7 at the Mellwood Art Center.
Created by artist Mark Barone and his partner Marina Dervan, “An Act of Dog” is a poignant exhibit depicting the approximately 5,500 canines that are euthanized daily in animal shelters.
The couple have dedicated themselves to raising $20 million to donate to no-kill shelters, animal rescue and foster groups, as well as spay and neuter costs. For more information on “An Act of Dog,” visit anactofdog.org.
