"it was the best day i ever had!"
about the events
Imagine being part of the most wonderful day for over 300 previously abandoned dogs, when they go home with their new family.
Share new families’ joy and excitement as they choose their new dog. Then multiply all that by 300 or more!
Read about the ways in which you can volunteer before and on event day then complete the sign up form.
The dogs’ and adopters’ experience is very much dependent on you. To volunteer you must feel that you can do this job very well!
