Upon arrival in Florida, all the dogs immediately had foster homes to go to, a measure of Suncoast’s infrastructure and the way such social networks sites as Facebook and Twitter have greatly enhanced the organization’s ability to communicate (& update) their needs at various stage of such rescue efforts. Rick also discusses adoption and introduced listeners to three adoptable animals he’d brought in studio: the beautiful white cat Snowball and impossibly cute 8-week-old puppies, Buddy & Smokey. He also describes Mutt March, Suncoast Animal League’s annual fund-raising event & party, to be held the Saturday after this interview. (www.SuncoastAnimalLeague.org)
