Our second Dog's Night Out of the season is fast approaching! Many of our customers are regular attendees but there are plenty who really don't even know what Dog's Night Out is. This blog is for you!

Dog's Night Out is an event where Three Dog Bakery teams up with a local restaurant that has outdoor seating for a doggie dinner party. We serve the dogs a 4 course meal while you order off of the restaurant's normal menu for yourself.

The menu for the dogs changes from year to year and restaurant to restaurant- we like to try and match up with the restaurant's style! For example last year at Lidia's dogs dined on appetizer baskets, 'chow wow cheese pizzas', 'muttacati' and "corgi canolis'.

Our June Dog's Night Out will be on June 21st at Lidia's, an Italian restaurant in a former railroad house just north of Union Station.
Their address is:
101 W 22nd St.
Kansas City, MO 64108
PH: (816) 221-3722

You can check out their menu at:http://www.lidias-kc.com/#

May was "National Food Drive for Animals Month" so we began looking for a rescue, shelter or animal welfare group in Kansas City that could really put our food to good use. After much debate (there are so many worthy groups here!) we chose Chain of Hope.

Chain of Hope is a 501(c)3 organization formed in 2010 with the primary goal of alleviating the suffering of abused and neglected animals within the urban core of Kansas City. Their ultimate goal is to break the chain of ignorance, break the chain of suffering and break the chain of unwanted litters.

Founder Kate Quigley travels to high poverty neighborhoods in her personal car with volunteers looking for dogs in need. If they should see a dog in need they work with owners to improve the living conditions for that animal. Sometimes this means educating them on proper dog care, other times it means delivering food, water bowls or dog houses. Last year Kate and her volunteers convinced 1,000 cat and dog owners to have their pets spayed or neutered, donated 95 dog houses and 14,700 pounds of dog food to families struggling to care for their pets properly.

The final amount donated for the food drive by Three Dog Bakery customers was an amazing 1,165 pounds!
