"There was so much to see and so many animals to interact with. But the one thing that made the most impact for me, was the black female lab mixthat wore a bandana that said "I was a bait dog, and I survived." She was covered in bald patches where she had wounds that had been stiched up. She had the sweetest disposition too. Hopefully a real eye opener for anyone who saw her. She made quite an impression on me."

“Fantastic event. I was not well, so good thing the AC was working good. It was great to see the volunteers and rescues. They are my heart, completely grassroots and doing what they say they do to help save dogs and cats. I hope so many animals got furrever homes. If only this kind of event happened more often in every county, perhaps micro events? If you decide to have such things, please keep me posted Rutherford County could always use some help for its wayward animals. THANK YOU !!!”
