adoption event tomorrow!

I have been receiving a lot of calls about tomorrows adoption event with Under-Dawgz rescue. 

Under-Dawgz is going through some re-organization as a group - so we are a little behind - so bear with us!

I will be posting a lit of dogs coming to the event today.

As many of you know - these events are quite busy and we always have people waiting for us to be ready to go -their eye set on a particular pup. Tomorrow is going to be no exception as we once again have some amazing dogs up for adoption.

Under-Dawgz is not a shelter but a volunteer based rescue with one person heading it up. The dogs are placed in foster homes when possible and boarded when necessary - a costly expense for a group like this. I along with several others help out where needed answering emails and calls to take some of the pressure off Tanya the head of the group so she can do the biggest job - pull dogs from shelters, get them vetted and cleaned up and into a safe situation awaiting a new home. 

I get a lot of calls and emails from people wanting to meet pups ahead of the adoption event. It sounds reasonable - why have someone wait for the event when they can give the pup a good home today. There is a lot of prep that goes into these events and dogs are often scattered in different foster homes or boarding facilities, making it hard to meet up with people in the days closest to the event. As we get closer to the event, people have seen that certain dogs will be at the event on PetFinder or Craigs List and they would like an opportunity to meet the dog. We try to hold to our commitment and have the dogs we say are going to be at the event there.

We thank you so much for supporting out event. We continue to need foster homes - so if you have it in you , let us know!!
