 Every
holiday season MetroPets Online honors the volunteers and
staff of the over 100 local organizations who work with homeless
and neglected animals at a special "Thank You" party
and networking event. In an elegant setting with wine tasting,
delicious vegan and vegetarian hors d'oeuvres, live music,
and special exhibits, the who's who of the animal world in
DC gathers to relax and chat about successes, future plans,
and current animal issues. MetroPets facilitates networking
among attendees, and guest speakers are invited to share their
most poignant moments of the year.

- Recognition

additional listing on the web site) to MetroPets
- Recognition
