Thanks again to all the wonderful staff & volunteers that make these adoptions possible. Without your tireless dedication events like this wouldn’t be possible, and 719 animals would still be looking for their second chance.

Love those smiles!
Everyone looks very happy! Both the pups and the people 🙂
I love all those smiles too. Just pinned to my “hopeful stories” board. 🙂
MHS does such an amazing job at getting their pets adopted. I loved all those smiling photos.
They really do a wonderful job, and it’s so nice to have weekend events that are highly promoted like this. Gives so many working families a chance to come out and see all the awesome animals that are ready for new homes.
