It’s time for Boutiques Unleashed!

It’s an evening of great fashion, fun and hilarity, and all for a good cause.  Pets and pet people turn out in droves for DoveLewis’ annual fashion gala, Boutiques Unleashed.

Every spring, hip pets and people take to the runway in the latest styles from Portland-area animal and human boutiques in support of the DoveLewis Pet Loss Support Program — celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.  The event happens Friday, April 1, at the beautiful Tiffany Center in downtown Portland.

Spot’s Mutt Mixer Feb. 4 features special guest Enid Samuel Traisman, M.S.W., C.T., art therapist and grief counselor at DoveLewis in Portland.

Known and loved locally for her work in art and grief therapy, Enid is perhaps best known for her free monthly grief support groups and free monthly Memorial Art Workshops at DoveLewis.   

Enid will have her “artist hat” on at the Mixer, guiding guests through an easy heart-shaped clay pawprint craft. This is a unique opportunity to “play” with Enid and, as anyone who knows her knows, she is a gifted, brilliant, joy of a human being with a huge heart for animals and people.
