Listen to “Rescue Dogs Rock NYC To Host ‘Cocktails for Canines’ Gala to Raise Funds for Animals in Need” on Spreaker.

The not-for-profit animal rescue organization, Rescue Dogs Rock NYC (RDRNYC) will host their ‘Cocktails for Canines’ annual gala on Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023 from 6:00pm – 9:00pm, at Versa, 218 West 35th Street, New York City. The cocktail and dinner reception gala will raise funds and awareness to help animals in need and will be co-chaired by Georgina Bloomberg and Lara Trump.

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC’s goal is to raise awareness of the ever-growing plight of homeless animals in the United States, in shelters as well as those abandoned in the streets. There are way too many fantastic animals that are euthanized every day just because they are homeless. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC introduces these animals to the public and educates them that unwanted companion animals are not damaged goods or unworthy but can be fostered into wonderful family pets. Sadly, the abuse, neglect, cruelty, and medical cases cost shelters the most money, and often are the first animals to euthanized.

The mission of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC is the rescue of these animals and provide them with immediate emergency care, medical or otherwise, they need and deserve. Besides medical treatments, the animals are rehabilitated through trainers and behavior specialists to help overcome past trauma. The organization does not have a physical shelter, and relies on a network of volunteers, fosters and adopters to welcome these animals into their homes and provides them with a nurturing and caring environment.

The Charity has acquired their own rescue and rehabilitation center in Suffolk County on Long Island giving Rescue Dogs Rock NYC a home to care for dogs in need. This allows the charity to save many more needy and deserving dogs. The center sits on half an acre and allows indoor/outdoor kennels and has lots of outdoor space.

The development of the center is a project which has been 3 years in the making, so Rescue Dogs Rock NYC are excited to have come this far. However, the real work comes in as the center is in disrepair and has no significant upkeep done in probably 30 years. The charity anticipates the new rescue center will cost approximately $350,000 to get it where it needs to be and ready to open and start taking in dogs.

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC’s outreach and education is spread through their website and social media, as well as community events such as their annual gala.

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC is a 501(c)(3), volunteer and foster based rescue. For more information, visit: rescuedogsrocknyc.org.

1929! The stock market crash ushers in the Great Depression. People are desperate.What to do? Answer: repeal Prohibition; open Cocktail Lounges.
2008! Fiscal Meltdown. Desperation! The solution? Re-invent the cocktail; bring back the speakeasy. Cocktail Cabaret is a celebration (and investigation) in words and music of this phenomenon.
Songs by Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Donald Ashwander, Billy Strayhorn, Steven Sondheim. Highbrows meet lowbrows at the Cocktail Cabaret: intrigue and danger with passionate strangers. Greenwich Village, smoke songs from Harlem. London’s literati and glitterati, erotic Boston, Hawaiian moonlight all play their part…linked to the current pulse of New York City.
Pablo Vela has created a series of memorable cabaret performances in New York City. The 11th Hour Lounge and Particular People (I&II) were presented in Manhattan, the latter at LaMaMa ETC. das MAX cabaret (inspired by the paintings of Max Beckmann) and WB Club WB (a tribute to film noir) were performed at the fabled BACA Downtown in Brooklyn.
