Over 400 Shelter Animals Adopted in One Day---4/25/09
Yes, 400+ homeless animals found homes Saturday. PetSmart, Rescue Groups and other volunteers, private and city/county animal shelters, veternarians, and the newspaper and TV stations had an adoption fair- These dogs were adopted out of high kill shelters and filled up rescue shelters. The newspaper provided a large area shaded by trees, so it wouldn't be too hot. There was room for people to take dogs out of the pens and walk the dog around, to see if they liked each other. They had a carnival type atmosphere with volunteers from different clubs and associations that did face painting . Pet Smart provided it's trucks with the cages, dog crates and temporary pens for pups.
Yesterday, I took Missy for her heartworm test and I ran into 3 people that got dogs at the fair. One was a woman with a collie/Aussie mix, beautiful dog, one an older woman-I don't remember the dog and one dude with a 6 week-old toy or teacup pup that was carried in a flannel quilted wrap so it wouldn't get cold or hurt. Some children talked about how some neighbors picked pups that were too young to leave momma and the kids in the neighborhood were waiting for the new pup to get old enough. This wasn't the usual group of pet owners-these were proud-happy people that were anxious to do the right thing for their dogs.

The Dogtravel Club
If anyone ever travels with their dogs I have to highly recommedn the Dogtravel Company Travel Club. We just moved back from Hawaii and with ATA going out of business we were freaking out a bit. We ended up connecting with the Dogtravel Company through someone we knew who had used them when he was on the Letterman show and they were fantastic!
Our pup actually got to fly in the cabin of the plane, (she's 75 lbs) and she sat in the seat right next to us! They took great care of her! She had her own snack service, and toys to play with while she was flying, and she never once had to be crated. It was wonderful! Their website is http://www.dogtravelcompany.net
