I tear up just thinking about it
December 28, 2023by: KelseyProgram: Sri Lanka - Dog Care and Veterinary AssistanceI loved taking the disabled shelter dogs out onto the grass area at the shelter. They always get so incredibly happy and enjoy the space. It was beautiful watching the dogs go from tentative to running around like crazy with utter joy. I tear up just thinking about it.
I'm so glad I was able to be a part of their mission
