It's hard to believe that up until last month I had never set foot in an animal shelter before. Glen & I went to Eastshore Humane Association in Chilton, WI on 6/23/12. It was a very nice experience! The shelter was very nice & they have a huge fenced in yard for the dogs to play in! The volunteers gave us a tour of the facility & then we got to interact with all of the dogs. I took pictures of their adoptable dogs for petfinder.com while we were playing. We had such a fun time! Here are some of the pictures I took.

Glen & I also went to Lincoln County Humane Society on 7/04/12. We took pictures of their adoptable dogs for petfinder.com & brought home a doggie to foster! It was so hot (95) the day of our visit that we had a hard time getting good pics of the dogs. It truly was too hot for the dogs to be outside for more than 5 minutes. This shelter had many strays and older dogs, which breaks my heart. We brought home Charlie, a Bernese Mnt Dog/Collie mix who is 7 years old. He is a big ole sweetheart of a dog! Such a mellow, cool personality. Here are a few pictures from our trip to Merrill.
Kiarra was surrendered to the shelter for chasing chickens.
Quincey was Kiarra's counter part in the chicken chasing.
Blaze's cute little nose!
Sadie was surrendered to the shelter because of her barking.
Daisy was a stray.
Fran was a stray.
Pepper was a stray.
Duke, as I'm calling him, was a stray that just came into the shelter. He was not named yet.
Here's Charlie getting some pets from Glen before leaving the shelter.

If you have never visited an animal shelter, do it! The joy a visit, a walk or some playtime can bring to a shelter dog is monumental! It is an amazing way to spend an afternoon & very rewarding for you as well!
