Fur flew at a dog fashion show for charity when Lauren Conrad didn't stroll the catwalk as a celebrity dog walker, but her rep tells PEOPLE that The Hills star met all of her obligations at the pet magazine-sponsored event. "Lauren just wanted to help the animals. She agreed to pose for the cover of the magazine, host the event, do press at the event and donate clothing, all of which she did. We are unaware of any other commitments. Lauren continues to support the Humane Society, as it is a wonderful organization," her rep says in an exclusive statement.Conrad, 22, was the marquee name at Tuesday's 9th annual Paws for Style event in New York benefiting the Humane Society and sponsored in part by Animal Fair magazine, which has Conrad on the cover of its summer issue with her rescue dog Chloe in an outfit that Conrad designed. A press release promised Conrad would be among the "celebrity dog walkers" to strut down the catwalk with "dapper celebridogs" wearing "matching one-of-a-kind specially designed outfits." But when the schedule called for Conrad to walk with a dog named Toby at the end of the show, emcee Robert Verdi announced to the crowd, "Lauren Conrad ran for The Hills." Later, Wendy Diamond, founder of Animal Fair magazine, complained to PEOPLE at the event, "This is an event to raise money for homeless animals. It is not an event for Lauren Conrad and her assistant to party in New York at the All-Star weekend."
Lauren looks so bad in this - she should have just walked with the dog - drop the diva act girl!
