Events
Event number one is where we get a bunch of dogs from shelters and stuff, then we give them away wherever the event is placed at. Event number two is called “potato overload” it is where we give away a bunch of corgis. Event number 3 is where we train dogs to do tricks and we put them up on a stage and they do their tricks. (you can adopt any of the dogs at any of these events.)
