The 2009 Motherlode Parade was a blast, as it is every year. The weather was perfect in the upper 70's, and we had such a great time decorating our float and of course, showing off those darling dogs who got to walk with us in the parade. Volunteers came and either walked their own dogs, or one from the shelter. (Thank YOU!) The float featured an old fashioned carriage were Autumn Jachetta, age 4, sat with her stuffed doggy and western gear. Other wonderful volunteers sat on the float as well. Our new mascot dog and cat were introduced, Buddy the dog and Oreo the cat. Buddy and Oreo were a bit hot, but had a wonderful time hugging children in the parade audience along the way. Buddy and Oreo will be seen more and more at HSOTC events, so look for them! The parade overall was a great day for everyone involved. We encourage your comments here and/or pictures you may have of the day. If you would like to walk a dog in events like these, please call or email us!
