Meet and Greets - August 7, 10:00 - 12:00PM

We are excited to be partnering with Zoomy Dogs in Durham for our Meet and Greets. It is a very cool, large space with lots of room and they are wonderful hosts.

You will be asked to sign a COVID 19 safety waiver prior to entering the building. A copy of the document is available here. Zoomy Dogs allows people that are fully vaccinated to go without a mask if they prefer. We want everyone attending the Meet and Greet to be comfortable so if you are attending either as a foster or helper please be prepared to put a mask on for anyone that approaches you masked or asks you to put one on. We’ll have extras at the front desk.

Meet and Greet Lineup:

NOTE: To adopt one of our dogs, you must be a resident of North Carolina. If you live more than three hours from the Raleigh-Durham area, adopting from us may be challenging.
