The Washington Humane Society Unveiled it's New Pet Transport Vehicle on May 12 - Pet Parents and Their Dogs Participate in Doga - Dogie Yoga! - Take a Look at the Pictures!

The Washington Humane Society unveiled it's new pet transport vehicle on May 12, 2012. This new mobile adoption center, an accessible animal transport van that will help the organization bring more adoptable pets into the Washington metro community. The vehicle was acquired thanks to a $150,000 grant from the Stanton Foundation, a New York based foundation created by Dr. Frank Stanton, a media pioneer and lifelong dog owner and admirer.

The mobile adoption center will allow DC animals to meet members of our community in the neighborhoods where they live and work, providing tremendous opportunity to build hundreds, and eventually thousands more families.

When people have the opportunity to meet dogs outside the shelter environment it is much easier for them to make a connection and visualize them in their own homes.

To celebrate the arrival of its new mobile adoption center, the Washington Humane Society hosted an unveiling in conjunction with its 8th Annual Doga event on May 12, 2012.

Take a look at the pictures of this event! You may have missed this year's, but you will have time to attend the 9th Annual Doga Event, next year!
