We have gone through a pretty rough time since the year 2020 started, but holiday seasons seem to be just the right antidote to chase away the sad days.
The Thanksgiving holiday is especially magical. We find ways to gather as a family and express love, comfort, and thanks for the year. Though no one would want to miss good food and company with family, two people made sure that not even the shelter dogs were forgotten.
Rob and Hillary Dunn, who volunteers their time at the Stevens Swan Humane Society, found a way to share Thanksgiving with nearly 80 shelters with dogs who haven’t found their forever homes. This has been a tradition for the couple, and having it the 2nd time in a row has been as special as the first. Each plate was lovingly served with white-meat turkey, sweet potatoes, and green beans.
We can only imagine the hard work Rob and Hillary must have gone through to prepare the feast. The holiday rush can be tiring, but despite that, they made sure the meals were healthy, delicious, and more than enough for everyone. Surely, each cat and dog felt the warmth and love during that Thanksgiving season.
At the shelter, photos of cats and dogs overjoyed by their meals were taken, and like our own family thanksgiving pictures, were posted on Facebook too. The adorable photos have also been shared 43 thousand times! Each picture was posted with a note saying that these pets were up for adoption. Anyone can support or thank the lovely couple for their kind gesture by supporting their favorite fundraiser via Facebook.
Though Rob and Hillary enjoy preparing food for shelter dogs during Thanksgiving, nothing would make them happier than knowing that these pups and cats would soon enjoy their next Thanksgiving in their own home with their forever families. Donations to their favorite fundraiser would go directly to the fundraiser. In our small way, we, too, can bring happiness to others despite the holiday season being over. We can donate to the fundraiser as an expression of our love for our fur friends in shelters.
