Yesterday was take-in day… the transports come from down South with their shelter/rescued dogs. The local shelter dogs will be brought in this morning. Southern Rescuers and dogs are thoroughly exhausted by the time they get to us. We’ve got paperwork ready and the local vet on hand to check each and every dog out, plus check their paperwork to verify they have all their innoculations and de-worming and are neutered or spayed. All are a requirement to come to Dog days. We charge absolutely nothing for entry or adoption, that’s why we’re always fund raising to hold these events. Here are some pictures as we went through that process…
Kennels set up at site, disinfected, name and information of each dog attached to it’s cage.
The vet checks each of the 80-100 dogs and puppies that come to be adopted
before they are allowed in..an exhausting eight hours of work for him
but so necessary. He checks for temperment as well as health.
The Volunteer has the dogs health records with her, which will also be reviewed by the vet.
Once they are vetted, they are given the opportunity to relax in the grass and around the grounds
with a volunteer before they are tucked away for the night.
This is Buster. If only I didn’t have four,
he’d be coming home with me today.
What a gentleman, an old soul, just a love.
Today and tomorrow are their chance to find their forever home.
Usually if we have 100 dogs, atleast 90 go home with a new family.
6 Business Park Road, Old Saybrook, follow the DD signs if you’re
in driving distance and want a new family member….
It’s a new day, people…and..
It’s a beautiful thing.
Good luck k !!!!!!
I hope you have a successful adoption event and you find new homes for all of them….Good Luck Karen!
What an amazing piece of organization this is!!! I'm so impressed and it is such a good cause…wonderful volunteers, beautiful photos and all those very, very lucky pups! Good Luck and I hope they all get adopted!
What a wonderful thing to organize. I do hope all those doggies get the good homes they deserve.
I love these posts! Can't wait to see more pics and more updates on how the event goes!
I'm crossing my fingers for 100% finding forever homes!
Good luck!
What a fantastic event. If I lived closer, I would be a volunteer too.
I didn't realize you helped dogs from south. There are so many killed every single day.
Thanks to you and all the others that help to save lives!
I hope and pray that every one of those sweeties gets a really good home and family!
I really hope they all get good homes Karen! It is probably a really good thing that I live too far away to come or I would end up in divorce court!
What a wonderful thing this is that you do. Helping people find their best friends. Good on ya!
I was wondering when the event was coming. I love the cause and love the heart stories that always come out of it- can't wait to hear who got who!
Hi, I am visiting from Cindi's blog. I LOVE what you are doing – and so hope that these dogs find forever homes. My two cats are rescue cats and I get a great deal more from them than what they are given.
