LAS VEGAS, July 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling all animal lovers! Zappos.com, the online retailer known for its exceptional customer service, is proud to present Cesar Millan and Lisa Vanderpump in an inspiring and moving event benefitting our favorite furry friends. On Saturday, August 5, the two celebrity animal advocates will take to The Smith Center stage in Las Vegas, NV in a charitable speaker series not to be missed.
The evening will kick off with Lisa Vanderpump sharing inspiring stories about her new dog rescue center and her Foundation's tireless work to end the atrocities occurring at the Yulin Dog Meat Festival. The mic will then pass to Cesar Millan who will treat the audience to an engaging and educational live show, sharing insights into his principles and demonstrating his training methods. In addition to hearing some great talks, you can feel good about the seat you're sitting in as net ticket proceeds will directly support animals in need by benefitting the Cesar Millan PACK Project and The Vanderpump Dog Foundation.
"I am honored to share everything we are doing at The Vanderpump Dog Foundation, both domestically and with our fight to end the Yulin Dog Meat Festival. Our wonderful partnership with Zappos has already helped us create a better world for dogs and we hope this event will allow us to do even more for these deserving creatures. Zappos For Good sponsored our second annual World Dog Day event, at which we finalized the paperwork for our 100th adopted dog at our LA based Rescue Center, and we are excited to continue our work together" said Lisa Vanderpump regarding the upcoming series.
"Last year, I had the honor of working with Zappos and Best Friends Animal Society for their annual Pawlidays, where we helped more than 12,000 animals get adopted," added Cesar Millan. "This year, we wanted to expand our goals beyond the adoption process itself and give people the knowledge to provide healthy and happy homes for pets. This live event is both educational and entertaining as I show how you can enjoy a happy relationship with your dog. I am excited to work with Zappos For Good again and be a part of their continuous efforts to promote animal welfare."
Directly following the event, ticket holders are invited to join Zappos for a fun filled "Yappy Hour" featuring free pet adoptions, refreshments, entertainment and more. An exclusive meet and greet with Cesar Millan and Lisa Vanderpump is also available for an additional charitable donation.
