SMOOCHES4POOCHES On Saturday, 10 February, Fitdog Sports Club hosted it's third annual Smooches for Pooches charity event. This year, the Club held a fundraiser and adoption event for Adopt & Shop, a local animal rescue nonprofit. Event participants made donations by entering a raffle contest and having their photo taken in a Kissing Booth with the doggie of their dreams — either their own or one up for adoption. All proceeds raised went towards Adopt & Shop, who will use the money to support the animals they rescue from high-kill shelters in Los Angeles.
