The rain has put a damper on our playgroup sessions, and dogs like Pepperoni are feeling the stress.
We are hoping volunteers couid spend a little time with them- if you can’t walk due to the rain, a 30 minute play session in the training room, providing a peanut butter kong, or just a little time to sit with them may help ❤️
If you can help out feel free to come by the facility 🐾
