The Bloodhound Martini, Pomeranian, Salty Dog, or The Greyhound – it's what you get when you mix cocktails with canines.
But this Saturday night will mix a cocktail event with raising funds for an organisation working to end the neglect and suffering of dogs spending their life on a chain.
The team at Grange Spa Canine Resort is hosting an exclusive Mid-Winter Masquerade cocktail event to raise awareness and funds for Chained Dog Awareness at Club Mount Maunganui on October 8.
'We see daily how important dogs are to their people, and it's heartbreaking to know of so many dogs that don't get the chance to be cared for in the way they deserve,” says Grange Spa director Melissa Hartley.
'This evening is a fantastic chance for dog lovers to support dogs in need – and kick up your heels and have an awesome party!”
Chained Dog Awareness is a volunteer-based organisation working to educate owners, rescue and re-home dogs and to change the law to improve basic needs for all dogs.
Guests to the Mid-Winter Masquerade cocktail event are encouraged to bring along plenty of cash for the chance to win some amazing prizes in an auction hosted by Frank Vosper.
At midnight party-goers can catch the after-party bus from Club Mount Maunganui to La Mexica on The Strand.
The Grange Spa Masquerade Charity Soiree is at Club Mount Maunganui on October 8 from 7pm-11.55pm.
Tickets cost $35 from Grange Spa, finda.co.nz, or phone 0800 BUY TIX (289 849). Tickets include drinks and nibbles on arrival.
