Walk for animals at the Paws for a Cause Scotiabank and BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) fundraiser Sept. 9th.
Last year 10,000 campaigners in 37 communities across the country participated as thousands of animal lovers took part. They raised $680,000. 
The flagship event is to be held in Vancouver with a goal of $750,000 to raise funds for animals in need. You can download a pledge form at spca.bc.ca/walk if you can't participate in the actual event. Then mail to BC SPCA Paws for a Cause, 1245 E. 7th Avenue, Vancouver BC V5T 1R1.
Prizes include a Maui five-night vacation for two plus $1,000 spending money and a For the Love of Your Pet gift basket among others.
If you raise $1,500 by Sept. 7th you win a digital camera.
You can also donate to the organization's Biscuit Fund which provides emergency treatment for homeless and wild animals. The fund was named after an abused animal that came to the shelter. For more information, go to the website listed above. The BCSPCA also has a monthly giving program and you can also sponsor an animal.
In other pet news, Xela has created scented sticks to cover pet odors. Pup-Pourri uses grass, jasmine, and lemon to fight the aroma of a dog smell. You place the reeds in the bottle and flip them regularly. You can purchase Furrever Scents at City Pet Life, 6025 Royal Lane or at Stanley Korshak, 500 Crescent Circle, both in Dallas. You may also go to xelaaromasticks.com where you will additionally find diffusers to fight cat smells.
In unrelated event news, the 2007 Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade with the theme "United For Equality" will be held Sept. 16th down Cedar Springs Road from Wycliffe Avenue to Lee Park in Dallas. There will also be a festival in Lee Park, which is also part of Gay Pride Week, along with the parade. The park is located one block northeast of Cedar Springs Road at the corner of Turtle Creek Boulevard and Hall Street.
Though the Week is held in June around the country, the parade and Dallas celebration of Gay Pride was moved to September in recent years, probably due to the overwhelming heat in the summers of Texas.
