Events are a crucial part of rescue.  This is where we educate people about how rescue "works", find very important foster homes and adoptive families, educate people about pet ownership, gather funding, network with people who have the same passions and acquire new members.  Join us in this worthy mission and have some fun too! 

One of the many ways we gain adoptive or foster homes is to attend events in the Valley.  We welcome you to join us with your fur child.  They bring much needed love to those looking for another companion, as well as educate people on the need for rescue.
