Yesterday, the first Red Dog Adoption Event took place in Old Saybrook, CT at the brand new Tractor Supply. I love that store, now even more. For my previous post on Red Dog, click HERE.
Two of the four adult dogs that came to the event were adopted and all nine of the puppies raised at York Correctional Institute have many adoption applications as of today and will be placed with the most suitable families. The puppies were born just days before arriving at the facility and the inmates have been caring for them and have begun their training. The pups mother was owned by a young woman who had a difficult start in life. She contacted Dog Days (also Red Dog Project) to see if they could help her with her beloved dog and the newborn pups. Not only did they step up to help the dog ( now spayed) and babies, this young woman has a job and place to live and a much better chance at life. It’s a beautiful thing.
