GOOD for you doing this. IF I were well off financially I would do it - I know I would.....

and Yorkie3 - that's really great info - & taking your son is really teaching him a big life lesson....

now THAT is something I could do and think I'll see if the one close to me lets people do that...I've dropped stuff off for the dogs but have never gone all the way inside... I'm too chicken & cry too easily these days

V, you could do pet-therapy and visit the elderly or.........walk the dogs, help groom them. Even, just helping run or put a fundraiser.......it doesn't matter.
