FOR ALL YOU ANIMAL LOVERS OUT THERE! 
JEN'S CASTING PROJECT

CASTING: 
Looking for attractive men/model types who have rescue animals they love and adore for 2015 Monthly Calendar. We will use their individual pictures and stories about the relationship between guardian and rescue animal per month. They need to be real stories. This would be a donation of time to my charity, Pillows for Paws (please see below)
If you or someone you know is interested in our Calendar project, please have them contact me at jen@jenhalperncasting.com.
Of course, we are always looking for volunteers and donations too! Please visit our Website 

Our goal is to raise money in order to continue donating much needed supplies throughout the year to 
NYC Shelters for our beloved homeless animals!

Pillows for Paws is Jen Halpern's animal charity she founded over 3 years ago. It is a group of volunteers who provide comfort and love to cats, dogs, and rabbits at Animal Care and Control, NYC Municipal Animal Shelter. We create handmade beds and toys at our monthly circles.  Our fluffy pillows help keep these animals cozy and calm and our toys keep them busy as they wait at the shelter for their forever homes.  There is little/no City funding for items like these.  But we, at Pillows for Paws think creating an environment that can help diminish stress is extremely important to the mental health of these animals because it leads to promoting their health all around.   These animals are abused, neglected, and abandoned and what they need more than anything is hope. That is why spreading love to our Furry Friends in Need is so important to us! We also do our best to provide anything else needed at the Shelter, including grooming, medical, enrichment products and toys.
