Jet (pictured) is a mutt\u2019s mutt, and a very good boy. He\u2019s spoken for, but he came from The Mercy Full Project <\/a>(MFP), a Tampa-based nonprofit working on animal rescue, pet food assistance and community projects.<\/p>\n

To date, MFP has matched more than 500 cuddly boys and girls with owners, and this weekend it hosts a Halloween fundraiser and adoption event at downtown Tampa dive bar The Hub. DJ Silence will spin, and there raffles, a pet costume contest and more planned while bartender Kamran Mir (Jet\u2019s dad) pours Gray Whale gin and Lucky One vodka drinks.<\/p>\n

Donations are accepted during Paw-loween benefiting Mercy Full Project happening Sunday, Oct. 18 at The Hub in Tampa.<\/a><\/p>\n
