Cucina D’Angelo’s Yappy-Hour
Strives to “Double the Donation” to Rescue Rehab Home 501(c)3

Rescue Rehab Homes of Boca Raton, whose motto is “Saving one dog at a time”, prides itself on providing emotional and social rehabilitation, medical care, and shelter with a goal of finding “forever homes” for every dog. Of course, in the last three years of rescue, they have learned that it isn’t that simple.

Cucina D’Angelo of Boca Raton the premiere destination for fun and safe doggy dining with other event sponsors come together for their monthly charity event Yappy-Hour hoping to “Double the Donation” made at last months event which raised $1000.

Rescue Rehab Home is completely funded by animal rescue donations from private individuals and companies. “Without your generous help, we would not be able to provide food, shelter & medical care for these wonderful animals.” Says Jamie Wolf who founded Rescue Rehab Home in 2005.  “Many of the animals in our care have or will require surgery, emergency veterinary care, special medications or diets, or some other treatment over & above the normal to save their life and/or to make them healthy & keep them that way.  Your donations make it possible for Rescue Rehab Home to provide this extra care.”

Yappy-Hour’s mission is to provide a fun and safe environment where people can incorporate their dogs into their social activities and promote the awareness of dogs in need of our help. Rescue Rehab Home has had over four successful Yappy-Hour events and wants this one to be the best of all time and “Double the Donation”.

Rescue Rehab Home has continuously gone above and beyond the call of duty for our furry friends. Many dogs were left behind on rooftops and deserted streets of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and were most likely homeless before the hurricane. Rescue Rehab Home was the first rescue group to go up the Gulf coast and take in Hurricane Katrina dogs.

“Rescue Rehab Home is completely funded by animal rescue donations from private individuals and companies.” Says Jamie Wolf.  “The on-going support we have received so far has been amazing.”

Yappy-Hour will include a lavish interactive dog area to show our furry friends how much we care. “Our goal with our dog massages is to relieve any physical pain helping dogs recover after surgery, helps dogs do better in agility, also helping them through different ailments such as Arthritis, hip dyspasia, and old age.” Says Hope LaMonica of Florida Dog Massages who will be extending her services to the dogs in attendance.  “Every massage is catered to your dog’s needs and well being. Whether a toy breed or a large breed, young or old,” she continues.

CinemaDOGrapher Charles Dasher will be playing his DOGumentary movie “Tales of Tails”, showing the closeness many dogs share with their owner. “This DOGumentary capture memories of your best friend that you can keep forever,” says Dasher.

Also in attendance will be Carla Genender; she will be signing copies of her book, DogSense: 99 relationship tips from your canine companion. DogSense contains photos of 99 dogs; each one gives a human relationship tip and is accompanied by a short 'bio' written from the perspective of the dog. It is a finalist for ForeWord magazine’s book of the year awards. “The premise of the book is that humans can have better relationships with each other by being more like our dogs.” says Carla Genender.

This Yappy Hour event is not only a mingling social event with canines and their owners but a chance to raise money for an organization who willingly and freely gives all of their time and efforts for a cause that is in great need in our society. Cucina D’Angelo looks forward to making this event into a success by being able to “Double the Donation” for Rescue Rehab Home and go beyond the call of duty, of which they have done for our dogs in so many ways.
