I LOOKING TO ADOPT.
Growing up in San Bernardino County, I know about how many strays are around all the time. There are tons of gorgeous dogs to adopt and many owners who had not had the means to take care of them. Giving these pets a better life would be such a great thing to do.
I really wish that more people would adopt pets. It makes me feel so sad to see how many dogs don’t get adopted every year. I have a dog already, but if I didn’t, I would be at this event. I really hope that they have a good turn out.
