The program grew out of an ongoing partnership between Hounds & Hops and the shelter, who team up once a week for a dog meet-and-greet called the Seneca Star program.

We’ve adopted dogs in 24 hours, in 24 minutes, and one dog in particular in less than 24 hours.

All this shows the importance of always putting your best foot forward.
