All About Pets Show

It was the 18th annual AAPS this year - I've been attending the show as a participant since 1995. That's a lot of Easter Weekends given to the animals but the value s truly priceless. This year we met hundreds of people and already today 22 animals are in new permanent homes as a direct result of the show. I get to connect with former adoptors and hear how my one time charges are doing. It is exhausting and wonderful all at once. This year I ran into Sasha and Harley's mom - she sent some pictures - they are doing great!

All About Pets Show

Yup - it's coming up again - the All About Pets Show - if you live in the GTA you may want to schedule a little bit of time for the show on Easter Weekend. It's usually a  lot of fun .. and I say that with 17 years under my belt ..(though one year I worked from Hawaii on the beach pictured here!) I have organized the central adoption area for over 10 years and am thrilled that HUNDREDS of animals have found homes through the wonderful volunteers work. We've placed birds and small animals of all descriptions (hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, rats, turtles) dogs, cats,  and a pot bellied pig through contacts made at the show. We hear all kinds of great stories about how people got their animals and answer all sorts of questions about adoption (there is no stupid question - well there is no question so stupid that somebody hasn't asked it anyhow!). 

We have also adopted lots of rabbits with the support of the fine folks at the OREO booth who love and nourish our rabbits while educating the public.

This year I'd be thrilled to find some sheep homes. I know we'll have rabbits, and dogs and cats and small animals of some sort looking for homes too!
