It’ll be a dog-day afternoon at a garden party this weekend. Angels Attic museum is hosting the party and original and craft fair to benefit Volunteers of America Los Angeles’ Senior Animal Companion Program. “An Artful Animal Afternoon” will be held on Sunday, Aug. 14, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., and feature the works of prominent local artists.

Many low-income, homebound seniors spend their day alone except for the company of their pets. But often, the elderly no longer have the resources to properly care for their animals, or even themselves.

The animal companion program helps those individuals by raising funds to provide veterinary care, spaying and neutering, food, litter and other supplies.

Angels Attic, a museum of rare antiques, miniatures and dolls, has partnered with the companion program — a 109-year-old non-profit organization that operates 35 public service programs throughout the greater Los Angeles area, to raise awareness about the plight of those in need and empower them to be self-reliant. Several fundraisers are held in the museum’s secret garden each year to benefit the companion program.
