I've Got Much Love for Much Love

Even though we've wrapped up our wedding content, seeing these fab pictures from Much Love Animal Rescue's Second Annual "Bow Wow WOW!" reminded me of my BFF's wedding a couple years back. Instead of going the traditional registry route for presents, they requested that guests donate to this same rescue organization for unwanted or abused animals. They adopted their pooch, Baby, from here – the pit bull was found in very bad condition after being dragged behind a moving car! – and just wanted to give back to the great shelter. Quite popular with generous celebrities as well, Tori Spelling has a fund for sick and injured animals in the name of her late Mimi La Rue, and others – Hilary Duff's Chiquita and Lake Bell's Margaret – have come from here as well. In addition to placing animals, they host a number of adoption fairs and celeb-studded events like this fundrasing event on July 19 in Beverly Hills.

There were many recognizable faces in attendance – check them out in a gallery when you read more.

Gabe, the bulldog from Bellingham, Wash. who flushes toilets, skateboards, and even rides a rocking horse! Congrats to this super cute smooshy for his big title!
OK, now the back story: Hosted by Fred Willard (star of one of our favorite animal movies), the 2008 Worldwide Fido Awards took place in the aptly-named Barker Hangar in Santa Monica over the weekend. The finalists were announced for six categories including our very own Samson who captured the title of "Cutest Dog" – woohoo!

Judges for the event included celebrity dog trainer Tamar Gellar and actors Kevin Nealon and Vivica A. Fox, and lucky for us LilPeaPod has some behind the scenes tales coming later today.

Until then, check out more cuteness from the event when you read more.
