Dogs and More Dogs

Friday night, I decided to volunteer at Rescue Denver for their Rescue Runway event. It was one of the coolest fundraisers I've ever been to. It wasn't ritzy, which I'm not a fan of nor was it lame. Being a dog lover helps at these events (obviously) since the whole point of organizations such as this one is to help pets get adopted in this case dogs.

They were all adorable. I wanted to take every single one of them home. Meet and Greets started out the night where everyone could see the dogs and the VIP could pet and get to know them. Volunteers also got this privilege. There was a kissing booth, which I personally thought was genius! A french bulldog with the cutest ears was in there when I walked up.

To end the night, they had a fashion show. Students from the Art Institute of Denver designed the clothes on the models and dogs. It was a unique idea and the whole night went splendidly. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I'm glad I let my selfishness/generosity win out over whether or not I should volunteer for this organization's event. Meaning, I was homesick for my dog Buddy which is the top reason why I decided to volunteer. The other reason was to help out a worthy organization.

As far as I know, there were two dogs that got adopted that night. One of the people in charge said that many sign the adoption papers later when they are prepared to take the dog home. Such a fun way to spend a Friday night!
