Heavy Petting Whoo-ee, you can get your paws on Liz Taylor's stuff. But she's just one of the tres fab celebs who've donated items for the auction end of this "Fun-Raiser Happy Hour" benefiting the Pet Patrol, which helps care for the pets of more than 200 Houstonians with AIDS. The Pet Patrol has procured goodies from a diverse group including Brigitte Bardot, Barbara Bush and Woody Harrelson. Other auction items are gifts, service certificates and dinner and hotel packages (these were donated by a more pedestrian group of local merchants and do-gooders). The Pet Patrol also sponsors shot- and dip-days and offers help with food and vet bills. Volunteers will be present at the Fun-Raiser to answer questions about their nonprofit group and to sign up new volunteers. 58 p.m. At the Black Labrador, appropriately enough, 4100 Montrose. Call 522-1954 for more info. Admission is donation of pet food. Free hors d'oeuvres, cash bar.
