The life-saving PetsMart Rescue Waggin rolled into the Pulaski County Animal Shelter and Humane Education Center Tuesday morning at 5 a.m. to pick up homeless dogs. Volunteers loaded an assortment of 19 dogs into the state-of-the-art animal transport van, headed for Cleveland Animal Protection League shelter, where they will quickly find homes. The Pulaski County Humane Society has proudly participated in the Rescue Waggin program for 1 year and it has drastically helped reduce euthanasia rates. We are one of the few shelters in the state of Virginia certified to participate in this East Coast program.

It takes a village to bring something like this to fruition and we thank all our dedicated volunteers and fosters who made it possible to save so many lives. There's many steps involved before these animals ride the waggin and thanks to our volunteers all these animals will be placed in happy, caring homes where they'll be pampered and loved. If you think you would like to help with the PetsMart Rescue Waggin Program please contact us at 540-674-0089 or e-mail for more information, there's no more rewarding feeling then placing a deserving animal aboard the waggin and sending them to their forever home.

Barb, thanks for posting these pictures--it really was an exciting way to start our morning out. Loading those little ones on the Rescue Waggin' on their way to forever homes was just great. The excited face of the border collie says it all--he and his siblings were just rearing to go, Tink & Tonk, Patty & Molly, etc.
