Friday, December 4, celebrity pup Schmitty the Real New Yorkie and pet advocate Elly McGuire will be staging a “live-in” in the holiday window at LEE’S Art Shop at 220 West 57th Street in Manhattan to raise money for NYC animal shelter Bobbi and the Strays. The New Yorkie in the Window holiday event will be streaming live on the web and via Twitter from @Schmittysay to raise awareness about pets in need.
Schmitty and Lee's Art Shop have teamed up to raise money through the sales of Schmitty’s Healthy Do’s and Don’ts 2010 calendar and other “New Yorkie” goodies.
“Schmitty and Pudge will spend the day living in the window performing tricks and obedience drills to entertain the shoppers on busy 57th Street,” says McGuire. "We will donate a dollar from every Schmitty calendar and New Yorkie hat, tote, plush and doggie tee sold at LEE’S and on-line at www.SchmittySays.com that day.”
David Steinberg, owner of LEE’S Art Shop says, “LEE’S Art Shop will happily match the money raised by Schmitty and Pudge during our ‘New Yorkie In The Window’ event.”
