SPCA Dog-Friendly Bay Cruise

Another cool event from the creative folks at the SF SPCA

I'm a huge animal lover, like so many Diablo readers. I love the events that ARF offers, and try to cover them in the magazine as often as possible. Another amazing animal rescue and pet friendly organization is th San Francisco SPCA. From their Bark and Whine Ball to myriad other events, there's a commitment to fun, education, and animal rescue here that deserves some attention. They're having another cool party tomorrow on a Hornblower Cruise. Check it out:
