Last week Sunday I helped my girlfriend, who runs a dog rescue in Toronto, with her first adopt-athon. Basically a local pet store gives us the back two rooms of the building to bring in all the adoptable dogs, and people can come in and fill out applications for a week long trial, during which the potential adopters can choose to adopt the dogs or bring them back if they aren't a good fit for whatever reason. As of today, less than a week later, all 8 dogs have found forever homes with awesome owners. Even better, these dogs were all rescued from horrible situations in the Dominican, where they had basically been sentenced to death. Helping an animal that deserves all the love in the world is a really rewarding experience, and is definitely awesome.
