Waggin Tails from Woofstock 2017

The 6th annual WOOFStock and Adopt-a-thon was held June 10th, 2017. The day couldn’t have been more beautiful; even the wind cooperated. It must have known that we are collectively on a mission to help find forever homes for as many loving, loyal dogs as possible. The reports are still coming in but at last count, more than 26 dogs have found their forever homes. I for one am very honored to have played a role in that. There is a host of people who played huge roles in making this year’s WOOFStock the largest yet, creating the largest celebration of “all things dog”, in Prescott Valley.
