"Adopt ME PLEASE!"

WOOF! Ever wonder where your adopted dogs come from? How can humans help other dogs in need? Barkingly, a few human volunteers from Operation Paws for Homes have been pondering those exact questions and have decided to take a Rescue Road Trip!

A team of eight volunteers from Operation Paws for Homes will be taking the Rescue Road Trip  March 31- April 6! They will be heading to visit six shelter partners in North and South Carolina! The team will spend their days volunteering tackling projects where they would like help including assisting with social media, taking photographs, grooming, walking dogs, cleaning, painting, repairing facilities, and sharing what they have learned to help dogs find "Forever Homes!"

WOOF! Beyond helping the shelters and their dogs, the team will learn more about what it takes to rescue out on the front lines! Barkingly, they hope to raise awareness about the situation of shelters in the rural south, how the dogs are living and dying there.

Barks, the team is raising funds to purchase supplies for the shelters who are often left out of government budgets! Paws, the funds will be used to purchase necessary items like flea an tick treatments, dewormers, harnesses, canned dog food, milk replacer for kittens, treats, and toys.

Paws, a Facebook page, www.facebook.com/OPHRescueRoadTrip, has been created for you to follow the stories, photos, and live video of their trip. The team will be answering the question, "Why are you getting in the Van?" from each of the participants. Though the reasons may vary, ultimately, it will be a desire to make a difference in a dog's life!

Barks, the trip was inspired by Cara Achterberg's book tour, Another Good Dog; One Family and Fifty Foster Dogs. She was shocked by what she saw! She had no idea conditions were so dire and realized it's not that human's don't care about what's happening in the shelters, they just don't know. The trip is intended to tell them! WOOF!
