Covington, LA (PRWEB) November 15, 2013 -- Have you ever wondered what a day in a shelter pet’s life is like?

Kristine Lacoste, managing editor of PetsAdviser.com, aims to find out -- by locking herself in a dog kennel at her local animal shelter. And get this: Kristine will be wearing a full-body dog costume to complete her canine transformation.

The "jailbreak" event will take place Saturday, November 16, 2013 from 8:30am to 4pm Central at the St. Tammany Humane Society, 20384 Harrison Ave. in Covington, Louisiana.

Here's some of what Kristine hopes to accomplish:

It might sound like a 'crazy pet lady' story to a lot of people. [But this event] can raise additional money for the Second Chance fund and also heighten awareness of the plight of shelter pets.

Post this
  • Get a first-hand perspective of the life of a shelter animal.
  • Raise money for the shelter's Second Chance fund, which pays for medical care of pets without owners, strays with heartworm, animals hit by cars and more. Without these critical funds, the animals would not get the vet care they need to survive.
  • Influence others to volunteer, donate and get involved.
  • Promote responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spaying/neutering, pet health care and identification.

Kristine says, "We walk past the cages at the shelter, but it is hard to imagine being locked in there all day and night. So, I'll be doing hard time, for as long as the shelter is open on Saturday."

She further explains herself in a new blog post at Pets Adviser:

http://www.petsadviser.com/jailbreak/

Provided internet and electricity are available in the kennel, Kristine will also be using her laptop to publish live updates on Saturday, including photos and video clips. Go to http://www.petsadviser.com for her latest musings, and you can also leave questions or messages of support for Kristine.

Dave Baker, publisher of Pets Adviser, says, "When Kristine first pitched this plan, I have to admit it sounded a little weird to me. And I imagine it might sound like a 'crazy pet lady' story to a lot of people who maybe aren't as passionate about animal welfare as we are. But then I thought, You know what? If she and the other volunteers and sponsors can raise additional money for the Second Chance fund and also heighten awareness of the plight of shelter pets, then you go, Kristine!"

The all-day event in Covington, Louisiana will include a bake sale and raffle prizes donated by local sponsors such as Camp Bow Wow New Orleans, Camp Bow Wow Covington, Zeus' Place, Willow's Oak Pet Lodge & Obedience Academy, Adventure Pets, and Swamp Dog & Friends; and national sponsors Blue Buffalo Company and Pets Adviser.
