San Francisco, Calif., Jun 21 2011: The San Francisco Pride Parade is going to the dogs: among all the rainbows and leather, a contingency of pet lovers will be marching with animal companions who have a message for all the proud GLBT people who have room in their hearts and their homes: “Take me home tonight.” The San Francisco SPCA, together with Muttville, Animal Care and Control, Family Dog Rescues, and Saving Grace Rescue, are proud to march in the SF Pride Parade on Sunday, June 26th, 2011.
The SF SPCA contingent will be led by their mascots, Ms. Emmy and Big Dog, and is expecting to have 100 to 150 participants, who should be identifiable by their matching SPCA t-shirts and visors. They will be joined by furry friends who know that all people make loving pet parents.
“SF SPCA is proud to join in the SF Pride festivities,” says Jennifer Lu, Communications Manager. “Come cheer us on and meet some of our wonderful animals who need loving homes.”
Safe sex is as important for cats and dogs as it is for the rest of us, so the San Francisco SPCA will be distributing vouchers for free spay/neuter surgeries at the Spay Neuter Clinic at the Leanne B. Roberts Animal Care Center. Attached to the coupons will be condoms to promote safe sex for all.
The SF Pride Parade starts at 10:30 am on Sunday, June 26th, 2011 at Market and Beale Streets and marches up Market to 8th Street. This year’s theme is “In Pride We Trust." For more information about the parade, visit http://sfpride.org/?ifr=parade/.
