    Weekly Tail Wag #012 – Every Yes Changes a Life

    Four puppies spreading joy. Two lives saved just in time. And volunteers who keep showing up.

    This week’s Weekly Tail Wag celebrates the people who say YES when a dog needs help.

    🐾 Puppy Kisses & Senior Smiles — Emma’s puppies visited a senior community in Orange County, bringing cuddles, laughter, and plenty of puppy love.

    ❤️ No Rest for the Rescue Crew — When Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde ran out of time at the shelter, Lorie and Jeff stepped up to give them a second chance.

    🏡 From Dashie to Jamie — After a few bumps along the way, Dashie may have found his perfect match, thanks to the patience and dedication of foster dads Bill and Todd.

    🌟 Volunteer Spotlight: Amy — From dog walking to years of dedicated rescue work, Amy reminds us how one person’s commitment can change countless lives.

    ☔ Rain or Shine, Rescue Shows Up! — Our volunteers braved the weather for the San Diego Animal Support Foundation’s adoption event at Grossmont Center, where two adoption applications brought new hope.

    💎 Shop for a Cause — Our Kendra Scott fundraiser is October 17–19, with 20% of qualifying purchases benefiting Labradors and Friends.

    Every yes can become a rescue, a foster home, an adoption, or a lifetime of love.

    ❤️ Because friends don’t let friends go homeless.

    A little rain wasn’t going to stop our Labradors and Friends crew!

    Our volunteers braved the wet weather to participate in the annual adoption event hosted by the San Diego Animal Support Foundation at Grossmont Center.

    Labradors and Friends has participated in these wonderful community events since the Foundation began hosting them, including its Valentine’s Day and holiday adoption celebrations.

    Wet Paws, Warm Hearts

    Despite the gray skies, our volunteers traveled from Orange County with adoptable dogs, ready to introduce them to potential forever families.

    There were wet paws, wagging tails, and plenty of smiles. And the best part? Two adoption applications! ❤️

    Every application represents the possibility of a new beginning for a dog waiting for a family.

    A Partnership That Makes a Difference

    Events like these bring rescue organizations, animal lovers, and the community together for one shared purpose: helping homeless pets find loving homes.

    We’re grateful to the San Diego Animal Support Foundation for continuing to create these opportunities year after year.

    And to our incredible volunteers who loaded up the dogs, made the drive, and spent their day representing Labradors and Friends despite the rain—thank you for always showing up!
