dog days of summer which focuses on a lot of families whose kids are out for the summer so it's a really great time to adopt a pet because you have extra time to work with them and introduce them into the new home and a lot of kids are bored of course so it's a great time to bring in a new family member and get them all excited before the next year school starts but we have 28 different rescue groups coming out to one spot it's Grossmont Center in La Mesa and we do it inside the mall we take up
the entire interior of the mall all the way from Walmart down to Target with 20 create different groups and we have more than 300 animals at this event so it is a really really big event it sounds like there's such a need we've been actually talking so many times on our show about there is so many animals and shelters that need to be adopted so I do want to go down the line and talk about who everybody is good morning introduce yourself and the pet this is Diego she's a four-year-old Miss spay a
