Weekend Volunteering Report

Lately I've realized that I'm not giving you guys the full scoop. I've been doing a lot more volunteering lately  and I've been neglecting to talk about it on the blog. That's pretty dumb considering I take tons of photos while volunteering and there's certainly no shortage of things to talk about.

So here's a recap of what I did this weekend.

This weekend was a pretty typical event weekend. We have regular adoption events throughout the month at various locations where we can show of the dogs and get them some exposure. Even though we don't have a foster dog right now, I always make sure to volunteer for local events whenever I can. Since I don't have a foster dog I can transport another person's foster to the event if they can't make it, talk to people about our rescue, and just generally act as another set of free hands which is always helpful.

Oh, and can I take a lot of photos :)

This weekend I got to do a little bit of everything: transporter, puppy wrangler, public liaison, and phodographer (see that little pun? hehe).

First, I went to pick up this cutie. He's currently being boarded at a local "pet resort" (seriously the place is awesome - I want to live there) until a foster home opens up for him.

Love.Him.To.Pieces.

I didn't spend too much time holding him (I spent a lot of time answering questions and taking photos), but I still spent plenty of time smooshing his little face and giving him lots of treats for being so awesome.

And then there were the puppies. Puppies always get a lot of attention, and for good reason. They are adorable.

One of the puppies even found his forever home this weekend. His family was so excited to bring him home, it was heart-warming to see him with his new family. They are going to be awesome together.

As the event started to wind down, the dogs who stayed until the very end started having a hard time staying awake. Eventually they climbed into a nearby dog bed and rested until it was time to go home.
