Yesterday morning at 5 am, 21 Pulaski County shelter dogs were successfully transported to Lollypop Farm in NY through the PetSmart Foundation Rescue Waggin' Program.We dedicate this successful transport in honor and memory of the brave students and employees of VT. Many of our board members and volunteers are VT grads or were actually on campus working when the tragedy occurred. One board member heard the shots from a nearby building, and our webmistress was in the band and friends with Ryan Clark, the RA who was killed in West AJ.
I know that this event has captured each of us but we wanted to share a little joy in the midst of such sadness and stress that GOOD THINGS DO HAPPEN even when humanity is reduced to the very lowest level.
I thank every volunteer and our waggin' folks for all they do to get these animals out of over crowded shelters and into safety.
Thanks to Susan, Laura, Rita, and David for helping load our babies today ! Thanks Barb, Linda, Nicole, and Julie for all the background work prior to the transport. So many help with this, I'm sure I have left someone out!
As the shelter opened for business this day, more puppies and dogs were entering the shelter seeking loving homes.
SPAY AND NEUTER!
The Waggin' is a great thing, but the goal is to end pet overpopulation and the flood of unwanted animals into shelters! This needs to be taken seriously, every homeless animal born is another one that could potentially die without ever finding a loving home.
