The pup-rising is happening!
Well, not really. But fur two days (Saturday and Sunday) over 30 dogs are hanging out at the PetSmart in Abbotsford, hoping to get adopted — and not puprisingly, it’s super cute.
Largely from California, these pups come in all shapes and sizes.

“We do take these Formosan mountain dogs from Taiwan as well. And we get Chihuahuas, we get terriers, poodles. A lot of times, just litters of puppies are dumped at the shelters in California,” Fee said.
“We just saved a pregnant Chihuahua, and she didn’t look right. I took her to the vet yesterday; sure enough, she has a big breed puppy inside, so we had to do a C-section. We just got news today she’s got five babies, she’s recovered totally.”
Put on by the Embrace a Discarded Animal Society at the PetSmart location in Abbotsford, the event had about 31 dogs up for adoption as of mid-afternoon Saturday, with three already gone to new homes and other adoptions pending.
“We’ve already had three dogs leave the building. They were pre-approved adopters. And our home-checkers are out there right now doing some home studies,” said Leslie Fee, Embrace Society president.
“So if you see a dog that you love, we can look at your application. If we feel it could be a potential fit, we’ll send a home-checker out right away.”

The dogs are adopted only to homes that the Embrace Society is confident the dogs will fit well into.
The event runs until 7 p.m. on Saturday and re-opens at 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Sunday at the Abbotsford PetSmart location at 1305 Sumas Way.
