A Big Day for Richmond GPA!

Today was a very busy day for our GPA Richmond volunteers, as we hosted a Meet and Greet and welcomed 7 new dogs to Richmond!

First up... our second Meet & Greet at Ukrop's. This time we visited their Harbour Pointe location and we met so many wonderful people. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to ask about the hounds!





Meanwhile, on the other side of town... Another group of GPA Richmond volunteers helped to bathe and work adoptions for 7 newly retired dogs!





Now, please help us welcome the newest members of our GPA Richmond family!
