What an amazing weekend it was \u2013 or least for the dogs and the Saturday group of volunteers\u2026 All dogs received their so long-awaited portion of love, attention and walks. The Saturday group got so enthusiastic about the walks that they almost forgot about the Sunday walks or maybe, knowing the weather forecast for the next day, they decided to give their best and walk as many dogs as possible just in case nobody shows up on Sunday. Well done for the 12 pens of dogs you walked! Don\u2019t forget about us though \u2013 when the weather is nice we wish there is a pen or two more for us so we can also enjoy every moment with our dog friends J<\/p>\n

On Sunday the weather decided to make a little 1st<\/sup> April Joke with the volunteers and to test their devotion to our favorite Bogrov\u2019s faces. We saw rain, snow and cold \u2013 and all of it in the middle of the spring. We don\u2019t remember freezing that much even in the winter\u2019s coldest days. Dedicated to the cause, selfless and determined to stay at the shelter until the last dog gets its walk, the Senior Volunteers with the help of three new ones showed that when you love nothing can stop you \u2013 and you should know that our love to those dogs is infinite. Wet, muddy and chilled to the bones but with a big smile on their faces; despite the rain and the snow the Sunday group walked the 6 pens left. We ran with the dogs, played with them, spend some time under the penthouse to warm up with a glass of tea and to share some of those moments that all of us love, the moments in which we gather new friendships not only with the dogs but also with the other volunteers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And just like that \u2013 staying under the sun or snow \u2013another weekend has come and gone! What\u2019s left behind you – dear volunteers – are 500 gentle dogs and their memories about the laughter and the games, the feeling of a wagging tail, the pleasure of the biscuits that have been eaten and the memory of all the love you gave them. Thank you that you didn\u2019t forget them \u2013 because You are all they have<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

We are looking forward to seeing you again this weekend, hoping to see you all in the daylight and all of us to feel \u2018fa caldo\u2019 (warm). Because we don\u2019t want to wake up without any volunteers, we recommend you not to watch the weather forecast. Trust us when we say that the weekend will be very positive, full of wagging tails and 500 impatient four-legged friends!<\/p>\n

N.B.<\/strong> If you have made any amateur or professional photos during the weekend in Bogrov shelter, feel free to send them to us at volunteers@arsofia.com<\/a>\u00a0, so we can include them in our weekly articles and show everybody what the mood was in both days!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
