MARYSVILLE — Area dog-lovers will be able to pitch in for pooches with a “Yappy Hour.”

WineStyles is hosting a May 14 wine-tasting fundraiser to help support this year’s Poochapalooza by the Marysville Dog Owners Group.

The event will run from 1-4 p.m. and will benefit the “Strawberry Fields for Rover” off-leash dog park at the Strawberry Athletic Field.

The proceeds from each $20 ticket will be split in half between WineStyles and M-DOG, and will buy each ticket-holder five wine-tastings and one glass of Mutt Lynch Wine, as well as appetizers throughout the event. M-DOG receives an additional $10 for each purchase of three or more bottles or wine.

“We are also holding a ‘Yappy Hour’ for the dogs,” M-DOG Founder Leslie Buell said. “We don’t want to leave the dogs out. After all, this is to benefit their off-leash dog park.”

For an additional $10 per ticket, attendees can treat their dogs to luxury arrivals courtesy of Cozy Canine Care Resort Doggy Limo, after which the pampered pooches will receive publicity photos and be escorted to a “doggy social,” complete with caviar and wine bottle-shaped treats, personalized trophies and more.

Space is limited for the doggy limo rides and “Yappy Hour.” To reserve your tickets, call Buell at 360-651-0633 or log onto www.poochapalooza.org.

WineStyles is located at 6608 64th St. NE in Marysville. The Strawberry Athletic Field is located at 6100 152nd St. NE, and will serve as the site for this year’s Poochapalooza on July 9.
