We had a great day today! Together with our wonderful volunteers, we rescued three dogs from the Animal Care and Control Team of Philadelphia!
Here's a sneak peek at those three that'll be participating in our 8th class at Philadelphia Prison Systems! Aren't they adorable? They'll be joined by three more dogs before the start of the program.
Many thanks to our amazing, dedicated NLOL-USA volunteers and to the awesome staff & volunteers at ACCT Philly too!

Nutmeg's new owners sent us an update to share with you guys! It looks like she's adjusting very well to her wonderful adopters and her forever home. Thanks to all of our supporters for helping us give Nutmeg (now known as Cat) a chance at a new life!
Here is the e-mail sent by her adopters:
Just wanted to give you a quick update... She (Cat) is adjusting quite nicely and has begun to look to her sister for cues:
Also, has been warming up to sharing space, I believe:

1920s Fashion for our Roaring Twenties Casino Night!
Are you getting excited for our Roaring Twenties Casino Night fundraiser on October 2? We are!
To help you get into the spirit of our theme, we're reposting a short guide to ladies' fashion during the 1920s. Now, before you ask, don't worry! If you're coming to our event, you're not required to don a flapper costume and a headache band. But for those of you who want to (and we'd love it if you did), here's an article from ABC News that'll help you design the perfect 1920s costume for our event!
If you haven't purchased your tickets yet, you can still do so here!

Fashion that Roared: 1920′s Evening Wear
By Tzirel Kaminetzky
May 10, 2013
Fashion in the 1920′s saw a great shift from decades prior, reflecting a myriad of attitudes based on economic prosperity, the more-empowered role of women, the end of World War I, the evolution of jazz music and bootlegging. “The Great Gatsby,” set in Long Island, N.Y., in the 1920′s, has this iconic moment in fashion as its backdrop.

Layers of sequins and metallic details adorned dresses which were designed with pleats and fringed skirts to allow for greater range of motion. This allowed wearers to perform the popular dance moves like the Charleston, practiced at night in venues from speakeasies to mansions.

As the decade advanced, so did women’s hemlines.

Women cut their hair shorter in bob cuts and curled it with irons, tucked into their cloche hats or adorned with art deco jewelry and hairpieces. Accent pieces such as anklets were popular as well.

Makeup could be applied more dramatically, specifically dark eyeliner and blush.

Dresses were cut to mask the female form not enhance it, with drop waists and no corset.

A spirit of opulence and frivolity was well reflected in the clothing worn at this time.
