Meet Your Match And Help Homeless Animals

HAVERFORD (CBS) - Feeling the pressure of Valentine's Day? For some, an event later this week will have them relaxed, matched and saving puppies!

With all the hype that surrounds Valentine's Day,  a professional matchmaking agency wants to take the edge off the holiday and bring love to more that just people.

Main Line Match, located in Wayne, is pairing up single professionals with a local animal shelter to create a relaxing, stress free social experience. Lisa Semerjian, Main Line Match founder, says this Thursday's Taste Makers event will have singles meet at Du Jour in Haverford for a sophisticated soiree of wine, hor d'oeuvres, and jazz.

"The purpose of that evening is for people to meet somebody they're going to fall in love with and meet their forever love and at the same time help animals find their forever homes," Semerjian said.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Citizens for a No-Kill Philadelphia, an establishment that fights to protect homeless animals.
