Well what can we say about the second stop in Ohio? Better weather? New group? The number of adoptions? We would have to say all of the above. It was a bright sunny day with a very light breeze, a good start to a promising partnership with the Northeast Ohio SPCA. This was this group’s first time working on the Tour For Life.

When we arrived at the shelter they came out and greeted us with open arms. We parked right in front of the shelter, set everything thing up and loaded a bunch of puppies on our Rescue Unit. The shelter was open for a little while before we got there and were already processing adoptions. They had rescued some puppies and dogs from Tennessee that needed to be rescued.

The day was nonstop all day. From the time we placed puppies on the unit to the end of the event, we couldn’t keep the puppies in the cages for very long. Every time we cleaned out a cage there was another puppy to be placed in it. Most of the adult dogs were kept in the shelter, but throughout the day we saw them being walked by potential adopters. A great sight.

By the end of the day there we were all amazed at the number of adoptions. A grand total of 42 adoptions. Someone said this was a new record set for a single day of adoptions. What an inaugural event for the Northeast Ohio SPCA. We hope this becomes a permanent stop on the Tour For Life.

Well one more stop on Route 2 in Syracuse and then back home just in time for Pet Adoptathon.

See you in Syracuse, NY
