Six rescues (Pawsitive Match, Bichons & Buddies, Tina's Little Pampered Paws, DAWG, HEAL, and TLC), coordinated by the Heigl Foundation, rescued dogs from the Camarillo shelter on Saturday.  Pawsitive Match took 14 chihuahuas back to Canada with them!
 
The final count was 55 animals adopted!  37 dogs, 8 cats, and 10 bunnies found new homes on Saturday.
 
According to Orlando Brown, "Shelter pets are the best home improvement you can make!"

Check out the images below from the paw-some event and for more details on helping out.
