Joan, How clever is a Walktoberfest!  I hope all the dogs find good homes that day.  My two kitties are from a local pet shelter group.  They make the best pets!

Susan -- the dogs love the Walktoberfest... and they love a parade!  It is so much fun.  I hope a lot of pets get adopted and that they are able to raise a lot of money to help the pets who still need homes.

Joan - What a terrific idea.  Yes, so many animals have become a casualty of this economy.  I do hope many will find a loving home.
