Our Spring Unleashed fundraising and networking event held at Picture Perfect Pets, Arlington, on May 15 was fun and successful!  Thanks so much to those who make this possible, including our volunteers and those who contributed door prizes and/or their time.  Thanks, in particular, to our fabulous Friend of A-DOG, Bette Yip, without whom this event would not have been possible!  The photos below tell the story, including some examples of the complimentary pet portraits that were so generously donated by Bette Yip.
