The sun was blazing at Silverado Days, but so was the enthusiasm for rescue! ☀️🐾<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Labradors and Friends volunteers and adoptable dogs spent the day meeting new faces, making friends, and sharing a little of what makes rescue so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From curious visitors stopping by our booth to plenty of puppy kisses and wagging tails, it was a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And one of our very own decided it was time to steal the spotlight! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there was Oliver!<\/strong> 🏆<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our very own Oliver took the stage to compete in the Tricks division of the Mutt Competition, proudly representing Labradors and Friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Oliver,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He walked away with the Participation Award<\/strong>, and we couldn’t be prouder of our boy. Sometimes just getting up on stage and giving it your best is worth celebrating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch Oliver’s Silverado Days performance!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
