What is Project Lovely?

Project Lovely is the partnership of Luxe Beauty and Lola Boutique. The union

began in the attempt to raise funds and awareness for local, non-profit animal

organizations. Today, they are a fiscal sponsor to both the Fayetteville Animal Shelter

and SPAY Arkansas. The primary goal is to raise awareness of animal adoption and the

importance of spaying and neutering your pets. In doing so, they have started a

"project" that encourages community involvement from both individuals and local

businesses.

STRUT FOR A MUTT began in September 2007, soon after Project Lovely was

founded. Animals have always been the loves of their lives, so the choice seemed

obvious. Plans were developed to host a fashion and beauty show that would feature

models walking dogs available for adoption down the runway.

STRUT has proven incredibly successful in providing homes for neglected and

abandoned animals, as well as raising money to benefit those who provide care for them.

SPAY Arkansas and the Fayetteville Animal Shelter are held near and dear to Jade,

Juliette and Lisa, and all proceeds benefit the two non-profits. We hope that you will join

in their project and help us make a difference in our local animal community. And set an

example of responsible pet ownership in our global community.

In 2008, STRUT raised several thousand of dollars for the Fayetteville Animal

Shelter and was covered by several local media, including: Celebrate Arkansas,

Citiscapes Monthly Metro, 3W Magazine, KNWA and Power 105.7. The event, with

feature entertainment BoomBox, exceeded expectations and sold out with over 650

tickets and 20 VIP tables occupied.

With such a successful night, plans immediately went underway to find a larger

venue for the following year. SAVOR, an upscale bar and restaurant located in the heart

of Fayetteville, was chosen to be the scene for September, 18th, 2009—the upcoming

STRUT FOR A MUTT benefit. Pepsi/Frito Lay were the presenting sponsor of the evening

and generously donated $5,000 to Project Lovely to help host the event. STRUT 2009

was covered by 104.9, Power 105.7, KNWA, Celebrate Arkansas, Citiscapes Monthly

Metro and 3W Magazine. 2009 local business sponsors included: SAVOR Restaurant,

Garrison Financial Corporation, The Executive Square, Revlon, Purina, Sugarbear's pet

boutique, Mae's Emporium, Inscriptions, Exhale Fitness Studio, Studio 8 salon, Dead

Swanky salon, Dillard's Makeup and Eventures Party Rentals.

Local DJay's, Shortfuze and EQ, were chosen to spin the pre-party and fashion

show, titled “THE STRUT.” Following the show, celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson, spun a

three hour set to keep the night going. Over 850 guests were in attendance and the

event raised over $10,000 for the benefiting non-profits. Strut for a Mutt has proven

incredibly successful in providing homes for neglected and abandoned animals, as well

as raising money to benefit those who provide care for them. SPAY Arkansas and the

Fayetteville Animal Shelter are held near and dear to Project Lovely, all proceeds from

STRUT will be split between the two.

STRUT 2010 will be held on October 16th at the Starlight Skatium in Downtown

Fayetteville. The board is thrilled to announce that Sarah Colonna from the Chelsea

Lately panel will host the pre-party and fashion show. Resident DJ of The Standard in

NYC, Pretty Paul, will spin the after party while we dance the night away!

What is Spay Arkansas?

Spay Arkansas' mission is to make Arkansas a state where there are no

homeless pets by humanely reducing the population of companion animals

with a statewide, low- cost spay/neuter program.

They have structured their plan on the New Hampshire and Humane Alliance models, both of which resulted in a decrease of shelter euthanasia by 70% in 10 years. By implementing low cost spay/neuter programs in our area, we could also reach this statistic.

Arkansas, and the south central region of the United States, has one of the highest rates of euthanasia per capita in the U.S., resulting in the death of 35 animals per 1000 people. The U.S. average of 15/1000.

Northwest Arkansas animal shelter euthanasia rates are over 50% and continue to climb each year. In 2009 over 5,000 homeless animals were euthanized in our community. On average that about 15 pets euthanized each day.

For nearly a century, no other nation has remotely approached this volume of cat and dog killing for population control. This might make Arkansas have the dubious distinction of having one of the highest euthanasia rates in the world! With an effective low-cost spay/neuter program, every $1 spent in prevention has proven to save $3 in animal control costs. It is a win/win situation for our community, our pets and our tax dollars.

Currently, Spay Arkansas is raising money to establish a low-cost spay/neuter clinic that will serve Northwest Arkansas. They are getting involved in the legislative process as well, aiming to pass a law that provides low-cost or free spay/neuter to low income people, similar to New Hampshire's program.

We ask you to join in our efforts and help Spay Arkansas form a coalition of animal advocates across Arkansas, becoming a cohesive and powerful voice for those that have no voice. Imagine a state where nearly every homeless animal got adopted. Where animal rescues had room to intake new animals. And where there are actually waiting lists for kittens. By spaying and neutering your pets, this dream could be our reality
