May 19: Paws n' Sip At Oscar Albert
The Paws n' Sip event was held at Oscar Albert Wine Bar. Garden Nursery. Bottle Shop on SE Division in Portland. About 35 people attended, most with dogs. Oscar Albert helped protect the guests and Animal Aid volunteers from the nasty weather with a big tent and umbrellas. No “spirits” were dampened, that’s for sure. Animal Aid volunteers fielded a number of questions from guests, and met a lot of nice people and pooches too.
