I am so proud to be a volunteer with VOCAL where animals come first. So many dogs and cats find a forever home thanks to the volunteers and staff at this great rescue group. They are a positive part of lowering the pet population in Marion County.

Debra says
I like the ikigai concept. Monkey can definitely steal some hearts. I loved how the sheep checked the border collie seemingly to see if he was ok. Another great Saturday spent down the rabbit hole!
Andrea says
Hi there Debra! How are you. I am glad that you enjoyed the articles. Those sheep just stole my heart… saying to themselves… what’s up and I do believe that the pup was just not in the mood to work that day LOL!!! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful weekend!
Pamela Smith says
The article on How to Pick the Right Dog for You was spot on! I wish more people would take the time to figure out what they want and then spend time with the dog they are interested in. I have seen too many people walk up to a kennel and just pick a dog by how it looks. It usually doesn’t work out for either the dog or the person. Thank you for all you do for our furry friends!
Andrea says
AMEN to that Pamela!!! EVERYONE that is thinking of adopting a dog should read that article! I am just happy that there are wonderful people like you out there!!! Sending tons of hugs and wishes for a picture perfect weekend and 4th of July!
