Quotes "Unfortunately, you know, some of these dogs get to, like, five, six, seven years old, and people don't want to give them a chance. And you know what? You should. They have a lot of life left and a lot of love to give you." – Melissa Novelli "It can be an important part of the process if the family already has a dog, because I really think it helps both the dog that's already been adopted and then the one you're adopting to, to really help socialize so people not want to think about that and use the facility to do that." Michael Novelli "Well, and that's why we have some educating classes before about explaining rescue to kids families. And everybody thinks it's cool to go buy a dog at a pet store. But the rescues are full of wonderful dogs." – Michael Novelli Resources Pawtastic Friends Donate to Pawtastic Friends Pawtastic Friends on Instagram Pawtastic Friends on Facebook
