More Wag-A-Thon pictures





Here are more pictures from the Wag-A-Thon. I'm still sorting through some that were sent to me, and I haven't looked at the ones that I took yet. There were a few that were sent to me that I wasn't able to right-click and save, so I apologize if you sent me some and I wasn't able to use them. You can click on any of these pictures to see them in a larger size. More pictures and videos to come maybe late tonight.

Wag-A-Thon pictures





Here are some pictures from the Wag-A-Thon. You can click on any picture to see it in a larger size. We have more to post as soon as we sort through them all.

Wag-A-Thon tail wagging and whipped cream contests

Here is some video from the tail wagging and whipped cream contests. Dogs and humans all seemed to be having a good time!

Wag-A-Thon crowd and dog walking

This is an assortment of video clips showing the crowd and parts of the walk with the dogs through the park. It was a very windy day but we had one of the biggest turnouts we've had to date. It was hard to count people with everyone moving around, but there appeared to be around 100 total. Thank you to everyone who came out and participated! There will be a lot more video, pictures, and information coming over the next few days. We have a lot of stuff we have to sort through and edit. Check back occasionally to see if we've added anything new.

Rescued!

Three of our shelter dogs were rescued Sunday! Wilma (left), Moses (right), and a cute little Yellow Lab named Cornflake (now named Cassie) who we didn't have a picture of yet. We loaded them up and went on a short road trip to meet Patty of Adopt A Lab. We are very grateful to her for taking them in! She runs a successful Lab rescue that transports many dogs to the east coast to wonderful homes. We work with quite a few dog and cat rescues, and they are all very important to us. If you have a moment, please go to http://www.adoptalab.org/ and see these three Labs on Patty's website. She has some very nice pictures of them. Thanks again Patty!

Offsite Adoption Event

Here is a short video from the offsite adoption event at the Carmel Petsmart today. We met at the shelter at 11 a.m. to load up our vehicles with tables, chairs, crates, food and water, paperwork, and other needed supplies. We also took 8 dogs and were met at the event by one other dog that was being fostered. We were there from 1-5. The first hour went very well, with Marlo and Trixie both being adopted. After that, we had quite a few people stop and visit, but no more adoptions. All of the dogs were very well behaved, and enjoyed their day away from the shelter. We loaded everything back up and headed home. The dogs we took home needed to be walked a bit, then fed and watered and put back for the night. These events can take a lot of work, and sometimes make for a long day, but are well worth it if even one pet is adopted.
