woo, the OP Pack
We know about S.A.F.E.! Dr Prueter is the Dr. that mom takes us to when things get complicated. He is the best!! Mom says that’s a good program he started.

What a clever idea! We need to have more adoption focused pet events like this in central Florida…hope it’s a successful event.
