Cross Country Team Brings Shelter Dogs Out For a Run
What a great idea! St. Joseph High School in Santa Maria, CA decided to hold their practice at a local animal shelter, and invited the dogs out for a run with the team.
Their video was posted to YouTube; here’s how the videographer describes the experience: This morning, me and the St. Joseph High School Cross Country Team conducted our workout at the County Animal Shelter in Santa Maria. With the help of Stacy Silva we successfully completed the first ever team Dog Run! Each team member was assigned a dog and we went out for a couple miles around the shelter. I am not sure who was more excited and having the most fun…the dogs or the kids. Either way, it was a great time and I am sure we will do it again sometime soon. Thanks Stacy Silva and Geoff Clinton.

Clear the Shelters Event This Saturday!
July 23rd has been set aside this year as a day to Clear the Shelters. In conjunction with NBC, animal shelters across the country will come together for a nationwide pet adoption initiative that aims to connect animals in need with loving new families. More than 19,000 pets were adopted from 400 shelters during last year’s event.

Adopt, don’t shop!

Good day, and good dog!
Shelter Sunday: The Facts Behind Dog Adoption and Rescue
Pet Adoption: The Numbers Behind the Need: Developed by Orvis.
This infographic comes to us from PetFinder and Orvis. I thought it would be good to put up in place of my normal Shelter Sunday feature because it can help lots of pets rather than the one I choose to showcase each week.
I also wanted to show this because I plan to post several items about purebred dogs this week, so I wanted to balance it out a little.
It’s a lot of information to digest, but take a few minutes and try to absorb it. Some of the numbers are hard to fathom.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
