Dogs take over the Plaza!!!!

This past Sunday Mastiff Hope Rescue attended the 22nd annual Dog-n-Jog event on the Plaza to help raise funds for the Greater Kansas City Humane Society. We've never seen so many cute dogs in one location. More than 1,000 dogs and their companions made their appearance on the Plaza. Mastiff Hope volunteers gave lots of hugs and kisses to the jogger's dogs stopping by our booth. Our Mastiffs gave out lots of kisses to the joggers as well. (Who could pass up a wet sloppy kiss by our handsome Mr. Napoleon, pictured left)

Directly in front of our booth, they set up a small kiddie swimming pool for drinking water for the dogs attending. It quickly became a wadding pool for the dogs instead of drinking water. We always knew when a Lab was near by all the splashing we heard.

We had three Mastiffs man our booth, Napoleon, Amadeus, and Loah. We also had an honorary 'mastiff' Emmet (he's a white boxer but thinks he's a mastiff). Napoleon was adopted by one of our Volunteers and is a very happy spoiled old man. Mr Amadeus is looking for sponsors to help him receive his heartworm treatment. Loah and Emmet were there hoping their 'fur-ever' families would find them. Loah was lucky enough to have a couple interested in adopting her. Emmet, unfortunately is still looking for his perfect family.

I have not yet heard how much money the Humane Society earned but it looked like a very successful event for them! Despite the off and on rain through out the morning. We were proud to be on hand to help raise money for a great cause. The Greater Kansas City Humane Society provides a great service to the Kansas City community!
