It was such a fun event! Seeing so many of the pets in attendance with their families and were already adopted from HSHV was nothing short of heartwarming. All happy, well-behaved dogs who now have a full life. The adoptable dogs who were in attendance were equally awesome. I hung out with some of them; I adored Titus and Rocket. Any of the adoptable dogs are going to help make some very lucky families complete. I hope that they are adopted soon! It just goes to show what so many of us already know: Shelter pets are just like every other pet. They're normal, worthy and most of all, cool!

Looked like 100% of the dogs had leashes on. That's a far cry from my neighborhood. Where it would be about 70% with leashes.
