Bark Ball!

We went to the Washington Humane Society’s 28th annual Bark Ball Saturday night at the Washington Hilton.

800 dog lovers brought their four-legged best friends as their dates for the fun evening. We snapped Junior Tennis Champions Center's Natalia and Olivia Janowicz with their dog Ellie, Ben Cappuccitti, and top USTA coach Vesa Ponkka, his wife, Kim, and their dog Kaila.

All the pups got to enjoy a dog-friendly biscuit bar, “open bar” water stations, and a doggy photo booth. Here, USPS' Beth Fluto, Click2Mail's Carly Brown, Michael Singer, and Curiosity Stream's Casey Sage with her dog Cooper.

Guests enjoyed a delicious vegetable ravioli dinner, while meeting sweet dogs currently up for adoption; some were taken home that evening. Here, Wise Public Affairs' Sarah Makin holding Rose, First Financial Bank's Gaffar Chowdhury, and NIH's Leeann Keener with Riley.

All proceeds go to the Washington Humane Society to help animals find their forever homes. Here, WHS Board member Gwyn Whittaker, home designer Lesley Roy, Society of VA's Adrienne Albers, and Long & Foster's Ginny Howden, with Dunkin and Sally.
