At T'eez-A Thomas Sena Salon in Omaha, Nebraska, philanthropy is for the dogs-literally.
"We've been doing this every year since we opened in 1997, and each year we raise about $1,000," says Thomas Sena. "The staff does all the actual washing of the dogs, and the event usually ends in a huge water fight."
For a minimum $10 donation, canine clients are treated to a shampoo using Paul Mitchell Dog Shampoo donated by the Aerial Company, towel dry, brushing, gourmet dog biscuits and a bandanna with the T'eez logo.
"Last year, the staff kept track of all the dogs' names and voted for their favorites," says Sena. "The winners were a Rottweiler named Guido and a pair of dachshunds named Oscar and Meyer."
