Check out Lassie at this year's Mission Hills event, on 9/14. Lassie is sitting up and begging for more spinning wheel action!  

 

In the first five years, we have helped place over 2,000 pets in to new forever homes!  Check out our custom spinning wheel filled with prizes you can win!

 

If you are not looking to add a forever family member you can still join the fun by visiting one of our partner shelters and donate $2.00 to spin and win with proceeds going to the shelter at the end of the day!
