PET ADOPTION DAY
When/Where: Audrey’s Pet Supply and Services, Saturday, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Why Go: Audrey’s is teaming up with the Animal Rescue League of Boston to sponsor a meet and greet with cats and dogs in need of a home. We’d go, but we remember the look on our landlord’s face the last time we asked if we could break the “no pets” policy, and we just can’t risk getting sucked in by those super cute, super sad eyes.
Pricing: Free

GOWNS & GLAMOUR
Where/When: Boston Bridal Lounge, Saturday, 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.
