Doggy Dash - Part Deux

Saturday was the rise n' shine fun time at the Chula Vista Doggy Dash!
Proceeds from the event went to H.E.A.R.T. (this is the non-profit organization that assists the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility in providing care for thousands of pets) [link]

I popped in at a little past 8:00 am & the joint was already jumpin'.

There were all sorts of great vendor booths and rescue groups in attendance.



I started out saying hello to the folks with Greyhounds 2 Go. [link]


They had a bunch of adoptable fuzzles hanging out showing their true "lap dog" nature. Here we have Hope & Rego (both 5 years old) practicing the fine art of lap balancing.

Flick - The beautiful 6 year old brindle boy!

and peeking out from behind Flick...

Voodoo - The sweetie pie 11 year old lady. She seems mellow and wonderful.

The oh so awesome Neuter Scooter was there. SNAP holds regular Spay & Neuter clinics in Chula Vista and have Spayed & Neutered over 10,000 pets in San Diego. They have a Fundraiser Golf Tournament coming up this summer (more info tomorrow). If you like to golf you should definitely check it out! [link]
They are Amazing!

Tomorrow I will be posting pics of a couple of sweet kitties that they will have up for adoption. Stay Tuned!

Greyhounds were Definitely in the house!

Here representing Greyhound Adoption Center as an official SpokesDoggy is Elvis!

When this rockstar enters the building you take notice. His charm & charisma works like a spell over those that meet him! He was there to show off the awesome attributes of the greyhound and I think he was doing a pretty good job. [link]

Here he is with his gal pal Brindy (co-SpokesDoggy). I think she is swooning...
Or is that me!

Check out their website for information about adoptable greyhounds! [link]

n' just when I think it's safe to go on...



the Cute comes out n' gets me again!

This time it is via Stoney the Siamese ratty who is up for adoption with Wee Companions. They had an awesome group of wee adoptables available that day. If you are looking for Ratty Buddies with great temperaments - ya gotsta check in with them! [link]

They also had the cute in a slightly rounder package - otherwise known as...

Julie the Guinea Pig! If y'all have been reading this blog for awhile - You know I gots love for the piggies! Wee Companions always has a fantastic assortment and I noticed quite a few youngster piggies there also. [link]

So by this point the racers have started to line up and the big start is just minutes away. There is just enough time for the competitors to sniff out the competition and size up who might be coming home with the gold...


And then they're off!

Whilst the athletes were doing their exercise thang I swooped back over to my good buddies at Pit Bull Rescue San Diego to get a few glamour shots going.


Mimi - This Pitbull Gal is a lover with beautious blue eyes. Adopt her at Pitbull Rescue San Diego. [link]

and talkin' about lovers...

Cassie - This lil' Terrier mix is lovin' life. She is blind and takes it in good stride with a casual air. She defo' knows how to snuggle as exemplified below...


Adopt her at Pitbull Rescue San Diego. [link]

After the race was run there was time for Pet Blessings.


and fun contests including best outfit.


and just general fun in the sun and doggy watching...


I think the one on the left looks like Eric Estrada.

The Chula Vista Police Canine Unit put on a demonstration of one of their doggy officers at work. It was a good thing that everyone was holding their doggies leads because the dogs got way amped up when the center doggy was showing its stuff. It was totally intense!

There were sooo many folks hanging out in front of the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility's booth that I just could not get a clear shot. But that is awesome! I think they got some really good response that day! They were taking pictures of all the race participants, handling licensing, fielding questions, setting up interactions, n' more. [link]
