Highland Village Honored at PetSet Gala

Highland Village is being honored at this year’s Houston PetSet gala for their commitment to taking Houston’s homeless animals from the pound to Park Avenue. Through the Highland Village Adoption Center, prime real estate space generously donated by Highland Village, more than 1000 abandoned dogs and cats have found loving homes. Without the commitment and support of Highland Village and hundreds of dedicated volunteers, many of these animals would have been euthanized.

This year’s event, Fierce and Fabulous, begins at 7 p.m. and will feature an open bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres and music by DJ Dave Wrangler. Tama Lundquist, Tena Faust and Courtney Hopson are the Soirée’s co-chairs. In addition to Highland Village, several of the center’s retailers and friends including Michael Kemper, Donald Pliner, Tootsies, Franco Valobra and Sandra and John Watson including will be recognized for their commitment to supporting the Highland Village Adoption Center.
