What a great time we had at

We are sorry to say that all the contestant I D cards have been

It was very hot at STAR PAWS this year and we offered heat relief by setting up misting stations for all to enjoy and get a little cooler.
We want to thank our three judges, volunteers, contributors, participants,
promoters
and attendees that helped to make our STAR PAWS event possible.
Special thanks to Renee with Heritage Park for her help getting this beautiful park ready for STAR PAWS.
Next year 2011 is in the planning already and we hope to see you all there for the festivities.
It was especially good to see so many
of METAIRIE HUMANE'S rescues at
STAR PAWS.

NO MORE NAKED PETS
Show them that you love them and please don't forget the most basic dress and important item of all, the
I D TAG
on a collar,
it is no more bothersome to the pet than
the wearing of a ring by humans
and can be the pets life saver.
