In July 2009, in conjunction with Walton Animal Guild, we tried something new: we loaded 125 dogs and 15 cats into horse trailers, vans and trucks and hauled them all the way from Georgia to Connecticut to a mega adoption put on by the SPCA. Because Connecticut has strong animal control laws, they don't have the pet overpopulation problem we have. In fact, they have a shortage of some animals and people were camped out to be first in line!
