LeeAnne Locken honored at pet adoption fundraiser
Gays love their pets like children; gays love LeeAnne Locken, so attending the 18th annual Wine on the Roof fundraiser for the East Lake Pet Orphanage seems like a no-brainer. Locken will be receiving the rescue group’s annual John Labella Award, presented to those who are advocates for the care, treatment and adoption of dogs, cats and other four-legged friends. The party’s theme is Paws Vegas, so think of Siegfried & Roy fashions… or your best Cirque du Soleil look. And, of course, enjoy the wine.

East Lake Pet Orphanage,
10101 E. Northwest Highway.
