A day of fun activities... punctuated by a love at first sight?
On the agenda: free visits, teams ready to help you make thoughtful adoption choices, and a bunch of activities proving that commitment can be fun. In Dompierre, there will be a parade of adoptable dogs, nature walks, photo sessions (yes, you can pose with your furry friend), and demonstrations of search dogs.
