These events will let a lot more people meet the dogs and increase their chances of adoption. Some of the dogs won't return to the shelter but will live in foster homes. This is great news, but it means that you might not be able to find the running or walking buddy you saw advertised on a flyer when you get to the shelter.  I thought our existing pet events calendar would be a good way to let people know where to find our featured dogs that are participating in this new program. I've given the calendar it's own page so you can actually see the entries.

It features great photos of Lizzie enjoying life with her new family - and even going for regular walks on the hike and bike trial. This is what it's all about.
