The 2001 DRU Open House was September 15, a beautiful day. We met the dogs; toured the shelter; brought a pile of goodies for the Shelter Wish List; ate some food; bid on raffles and auctions; were wowed by the training demonstrations; and got to mingle with the DRU crowd. Thank you to all who came and made the day a huge success. Can't wait for next year!
