'Yappy Hour' Held In Center City To Benefit Local Animal Rescues

By Tim Jimenez

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A Center City hotel served up some cocktails to benefit canines Tuesday night.

Not a happy hour here at the Loew's Hotel, but a "Yappy Hour" benefiting Street Tails Animal Rescue from Philadelphia and All 4 Paws Rescue out of Chester County.

"We take dogs from death row from the high-kill shelters. So we're giving them another chance at life," says Kristen Geddes, Founder and Executive Director of All 4 Paws.

She had two friends with her.

"This is Macho, he's a Doberman. One-year-old, he was actually found as a stray in Philadelphia. He had been abused and he's looking for a home. The other one I have is Kahlua, a five-year-old shepherd mix. She unfortunately was also abused," says Geddes.

Macho and Kahlua were unavailable for comment, but for more information on the organizations, visit:
