Earlier this week we were thrilled to have held our first annual Give a Dog a Dream event at the beautiful Del Vino Vineyards Vineyards honoring Dr. Russell Fredericks. Dr. Fredericks has been proudly caring for our animals for over 20 years and we couldn't be more grateful for his guidance and support . A sincere thank you to all of our supporters, donors and everyone who helped make this evening so successful.

A special thank you to Christopher Appoldt Photography who is always willing to share his talents documenting this special evening.
