Magda Perez works across the street and said she visits the boutique all the time—both because of the cute items for sale and the cause. "It's a good organization," she said.
Remi cuddles up with Sue Morrison, Cindy Skarda and Cheryl Johnson.
Many of the items sold in the consignment store are designer pieces which have been donated.

The consignment store has clothes, as well as home goods and accessories. It even has a special section for dog-themed items.
Buddy and his foster parent, Debbie Rubin, hung out outside to greet customers. Buddy, a 7-year-old vizsla mix, was found abandoned on University Parkway. He will be available for adoption in a week to 10 days.
Cheryl Johnson came to help at the event, but checked out a few clothes for sale, too.
Becky Bonacci and Carolyn Kuzma are both volunteers at the shelter, but came to check out the sale.
Arline Leven talks with Bob and Mary Del Giudice about Remi, an adoptable dog at the shelter.
What's better than shopping a good sale, and getting to play with adoptable dogs?
The Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch held a special discount sale at its consignment store, Second Chance Boutique, in Lakewood Ranch. The store offered a 20% discount while allowing shoppers—including shelter volunteers who came to support the event—to pet some of the organization's eligible pups.
All profits from the boutique support the rescue.
"There's an overabundance of dogs and cats that need homes. Adopting is so important," said Rebekah Boos, a board member.
