I love talking to dog people. I mean real dog people.. the kind who know their dog is one of their family members, sometimes one of their most cherished. Usually, genuine dog people are also good citizens, caring individuals in more ways than dog ownership.
Yesterday, we held a photo shoot at a PetValu a few towns over. For a $5. donation to our organization, with all proceeds to benefit shelter dogs, you got a photo of your dog or kids or both with the Easter Bunny. We have some return customers, I love to see them… and several are rescue dogs that were adopted out by our rescues in previous years. How wonderful to see the dogs and their families thriving. The dogs are so much more confident and happy now that they have lived in a loving home. We witness them when they come to our events, scared and bewildered. To see them rehabilitated by the reassurance of love… is heartwarming.
We’re holding another fundraiser – SPAY IT FORWARD CT – We are helping Connecticut shelters with spay and neuter costs so that they can afford to spay/neuter the dogs in their shelters. This gives the dogs an advantage to help them get adopted… and it reduces the unwanted litters born out of irresponsibility by owners. Local Veterinarians have also joined our cause, donating discounted or waived fees to the spay and neuter program. If you’d care to donate, click on the link above. Every donation, no matter how small it may be, helps those dogs find a better life.
